See this is the exact problem. Is the news causing society to decay or is the media a reflection of society, serving the news people want?
I don’t buy the “media and rich elites brainwashed society” myth. It’s a modern take on “the Jewish money men caused all the problems” that was a frequent trope in the past.
British voted and got what they deserved, period. Now they need to elect new leaders with new ideas.
Give a regular person the opportunity just once to participate in the corruption schemes that the elites use to sustain themselves and that regular person wouldn't even blink before accepting. The average person has become so spiritually impoverished that he or she will participate in corruption and unethical conduct without even realizing what they are doing is wrong. "Hey, I get some money, so that has to be good!".
People sell themselves for as little as $500 in corruption money. Elites haven't reached their spot just by themselves, they rely on massive tree-like corruption networks, where the leader of each branch gets to benefit more the more people they have under them. In a given society you have a small percentage of people completely morally corrupted, a large majority who are just ignorant in every regard, and a handful of people who actually gives a damn - about anything.
