Has anyone seen a story lately related to Blue Collar Workers? I ha vent--protests, low wages, anything? Me neither. Journalism is a business and securing democracy and all class systems isn't on their agenda.
McChesney sees a news environment full of stories pitched at the richest residing in the United States--great investments, whats up on Wall Street, and, capitalism at its greatest. He points out a story that seems to be ignored, or lost in the mess: Military spending in a bad light. But, stories attacking spending on health care, environmental concerns, or education are everywhere.
Why is that? I never really thought about it. But, after McChesney points it out. I'm a little angry. Killing people through war is more important than improving polices in the United States, advancing health care, or caring about the environment. "Since no element of the economic elite is harmed by military spending, and nearly all of them benefit by having an empire to protect profit making worldwide, it rarely gets criticized--unlike federal spending..."
I cant even find a video in U-Tube, made in the United States that is critical of military spending! But, foreign news sees things just the way they are.
