RESPONSIBLE MEDIA

Marx had this to say about the media in a capitalist system:

“The class which has the means of material production at its disposal has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.” 

For a modern take on this stance, see the interview with Robert McChesney in Socialist Project's "The Bullet" No. 246. Today it is important that we ensure independent voices are heard amidst the propaganda of the rich media conglomerates.
