AUDIOTAPE

Then we speak with media analyst Robert McChesney, co-author with John Nichols of “Dollarocracy: How the Money-and-Media-Election Complex is Destroying America”. Following the purchase of the Washington Post by the billionaire owner of Amazon, we look into how failing newspapers and magazines are become playthings for billionaires, and discuss the collapse of the news media in which professionalism has been replaced by commercialism as resources for reporting are cut, and investigative journalism is all but eliminated.Robert McChesney
