This means that it is incompatible with a media system that is controlled by six conglomerates that get their revenue from advertising.<br /><br />A sincere democracy should enable the public to hear from all candidates that are running for office therefore those six conglomerates would never be allowed to withhold coverage of sincere candidates while continuing to get preferential treatment from the government. <br /><br />Is that more than just a couple already?Zacherydtaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698044667634105382noreply@blogger.com
