Vladimir Lenin on bourgeois media

All over the world, Wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake “public opinion” for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.

    It’s always upsetting to know thinkers and organizers were saying this stuff 100 years ago you take a quote from them and directly apply it today. I don’t know if that’s encouraging to think they were right, or saddening to think they were right and not much has change and in fact has got worse.
