我们遇到什么样的困难都不要怕
Chapter 3 - Mediaocracy[edit]This chapter discusses the British Media, and its relationship with both the outriders discussed in the first chapter, and the politicians discussed in the second. Jones claims that the wealthy people that control much of the press have interests closely aligned with the establishment, and therefore tend to promote the establishments views, rather than the views of their readers, saying, "The British people are not being served by a media that exists to inform them, to educate them, to understand the realities of the country they live in and the world around them. Instead, much of the media is a political machine, lobbying for the often personal objectives of their owners. The media and political elites are frequently deeply intertwined, sharing as they do many of the same assumptions about how society should be run and organised."
*
political capital can be gained by promoting ignorance to the public throgh the media.
*
media deflect the scrutiny to the powerful and wealthy elite at the top of the society. Partly because they themselves benift from the Establishment status quo.
*
Most of the mainstream media is controlled by a small groups of political motivated elite so they can largely influence the British Politics. e.g. the 1992 general election, vitriolic attack on Labour.
*
other than the owner of media, media outlets are increasingly becoming a closed shop for those from privileged backgrounds. It is criticised that those who are into journalism are often private educated elites that knows little about the public service but making mean comments.
*
going against the will of the Murdock empire or the general direction of the media can be seen as a career suicide as journalists, for others the media can threaten you in various ways, they can dig out many things.
*
People who are into journalism, politics and bussiness often inevitably socialise with each other and there is a revolving door of it. This can explain why some editors or owners support the Establishment ideals as well.
