We Are Bartered For Media’s Good Favor

It’s an unsettling state of affairs when we allow ourselves to experience so much paralysis when thinking about how the corporate media may impact our livelihoods if our support for one another or investment interest in each other runs counter to what the media believe our prevailing interest ought to be.
