U.S. “state run” media?

Corporations own the media, so it’s state run media. There’s gray areas in there because corporations aren’t lock step in their wants, outside of profit above everything.

The more I think about this dynamic, the more I find wrong with our current governing arrangement. Keeping with the premise that corporations = the government, corporations own the media, military (military industrial complex fighting for control of oil), medical industry (big pharma and private insurance companies) and in some aspects they own all of us that have debt. I’m okay with the debt part because that’s private citizens making deals with private companies. I’m not ok with corporations running the government and military that’s supposed to be of the people and for the people.

Bingo.  Although Citizen's United claims corporations are "people too".
