Well, just that Democracy depends on information and interest, and both are either decreasing or in a damn corrupt condition ...

The involvement of major enterprises in media networks, papers and stuff is making those "information" sources a liability. When economic reasons dictate the view which is presented it becomes very hard to get things sorted out on a high journalistic standard.

The journalistic standard in Europe is already on a pretty shaky level, but US media is close to beeing propagandic (to one side or the other, who cares?).
