The solution to the mainstream media problem is a simple one:
1) Cancel your cable subscription and do away with the idiot box. It's a medium geared towards people with an eighth grade education level and its function is to distract, misinform, censor, serve as a propaganda outlet, and convince people to buy things they don't need. I haven't watched television in years and don't miss it. (also gives me an excuse to go to the pub and watch UFC and boxing) ;)
2) Cancel all mainstream print media subscriptions. They serve the same destructive role in society that television does.
3) Support independent media.
It amazes me how many people financially support these worthless media corporations and simultaneously complain about them.
