I think there is a lack of funding for many print media that makes that level of competence and supervision very tough to meet, including those who know this stress in the company.    

With consolidated ownership on the world/national level, the public runs the risk of very filtered news that favors elite power/wealth interest.   Small papers like the RG are losing audience to those who have a broader medium to work with.

Did you watch any of the Bannon interview the other night?  There is much I dislike about the guy, but I found myself agreeing about the 'sell out' of both parties to special interest.   I think he stated the party design as a Patronage system -  and I have to say that is very much my own opinion as well.  It's 'pay to play' in most countries and it's no different in the United States.   

I try not to hatefully condemn individuals that are trying to do good work.  Bannon uses a very broad brush to tarnish the innocent, he offers few solutions.
