Decentralizing the tyranny of the media

There is more “free press” in America than in, say, Russia, but the American media today is not unlike a  dictatorship in controlling the narrative where most people get their news. The media's preferred positions, defined as political correctness or cultural Marxism, are secure, they can drown out any dissent, they can manage the blowback, they can spin any evidence the way they want to serve their agenda, they can eliminate any perceived discrimination against the social, political, economic groups or special interests that they champion. That's a dictatorship.

Many people think that Fox News broke through the media dictatorship, but they too are constrained within media-approved neoconservative parameters and they rarely cross the politically correct line. Most Americans think Fox News neoconservatives are conservatives, unaware of the coup that took place a few years back when the paleoconservatives were ousted from most of their media publications and organs of influence by the neoconservatives. The neos promote a marauding foreign policy designed to enhance the power of global big business, and other special interests---and that is not Conservative.

The tyranny of the media needs to be decentralized, just as the big banks which are “too big to fail” need to be broken up. We need to get back to the separation of powers and states of the original Constitution, and we also need to eventually interpret decentralizing as encompassing an ethnopluralism of states and regions to deal with our coming disruptive diversity, while being protected internally and externally by a defensive federalism, and some form of our original economic nationalism. This is of course a very difficult mission, since the devious media is aligned with big crony capitalism and the government---but as they say, even the longest journeys begin with the first steps.
