You see that is where you and I differ, "The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media."- William Colby former CIA director.The United States is excellent in terms of human rights: there is almost total freedom of speech/press, there aren't extrajudicial killings or disappearances of political opponents, the government goes out of its way to protect the civil liberties of criminal suspects, etc.
Let me explain that if the major media is controlled by a few-which it is-they can control what content is broadcasted. And not only that but a few is more easy to control then many. And we don't rank to high up on the world for diversity of the press. Colby might have been murdered because he was investigating a prostitution ring run by politicians. Does that scare you?
We don't have as many extrajudicial killings or disappearances of political opponents because the system has successfully curtailed any real difference between the political parties. So killings or disappearances are not necessary in an environment that is controlled.
