" Free speech " checked by ruling class control of the news media


Right wing radio was -ironically - ranting about out of control on line news media" comments " months ago. There is a simple Marxist explanation for curbing this outlet for public opinion : " the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ".

 And the capitalist two party system is in crisis. The American plutocracy does not want ordinary people to even imagine an economic system very different from " free market " or weakly regulated capitalism.They do not want to hear from the anti-war movement.

Presently Establishment USA - including NPR - supports Hillary Clinton, the Queen of the Status Quo.
