It's really a watchdog group that won't let you print fair and balanced objective reporting.
That is a good point and I think a recent study/poll I came across observed a marked distinction between perceptions of local and national media. More people trust their local media. Local media is more targeted and... local.
Paradox,
Maybe a new greasemonkey script will be forthcoming.
Glenn has repeatedly said he finds "grand unified field" theories about the media too simplistic. I do think the simple answer is problematic. But I find this explanation the simplest. It's not conspiracism, it's social science.
I think in this case, conflict theory explains it well.
The fact that it comes from a Marxist perspective scares the crap out of people. Among other things, and in rather general terms, Conflict Theory posits that the state and the law are instruments of oppression employed by the ruling class (elites) for their own benefit. It's not too dificult a stretch to acknowledge the media gets co-opted in this effort. Of course there are exceptions and this is a too simplistic theoretical framework to explain all the complexities of a free press and media in a free and democratic, market based capitalist society. Monopolization of the media into large conglomerates is a natural result without regulation and that is happening. It can't be denied.
