Two Other Problems With the MSMedia Besides Being In the Hip Pocket of the 0.01%

[Bret Cahill]

Even without The Conflict of Interest of being funded by the 0.01% the
media would have problems. The other 2 reasons they love to hype
culture war issues are,

1. they simply lack the imagination or energy to go out and do other
stories. In short they are lazy.

2 the daily format of these shows makes it impossible for even the
greatest genius to fill the time. They need a steady if not
interesting source of material.

A social sector industrial complex is a concept commonly used to refer
to policy and monetary relationships between legislators, national
social groups, and their industrial base that supports them. These
relationships include political contributions, political approval for
spending, lobbying to support bureaucracies, and oversight of the
industry. It is a type of iron triangle.

The term is sometimes used more broadly to include the entire network
of contracts and flows of money and resources among individuals as
well as corporations and institutions of the various social sector
contractors, The social sector, the Congress and executive branch.
This type of sector is intrinsically prone to principal–agent problem,
moral hazard, and rent seeking. Cases of political corruption
generally surface with regularity.

A parallel system is that of the Military–industrial–media complex,
along with the more distant Politico-media complex and Prison-
industrial complex. A similar thesis was originally expressed by
Daniel Guérin, in his 1936 book Fascism and Big Business, about the
fascist government support to heavy industry. It can be defined as,
"an informal and changing coalition of groups with vested
psychological, moral, and material interests in the continuous
development and maintenance of high levels of weaponry, in
preservation of colonial markets and in military-strategic conceptions
of internal affairs."

In United States politics, the iron triangle is a term used by
political scientists to describe the policy-making relationship among
the congressional committees, the bureaucracy (executive) (sometimes
called "government agencies"), and interest groups.

It's seems to be all advertising now...
hard to tell the paid news-hype program political "ads"
from the paid SuperPAC commercial political ads.
Ads are easy....news is hard?

All three are inextricably linked to some extent.
