While I agree with a lot of what you have to say, universities are about as far from havens of capitalism as you can get. Crony capitalism may be the danger you point out but is it really infesting universities?

It sure did a number on journalism in America and the Media Industry. When that corporate mentality seeps down from the upper echelon, where it inherently is going to reside, down through the ranks it then becomes the way you think or else you are removed as the outsider.

It may seem odd now that such could be the mentality in the future but if you go back a few years and told them the sorry state of investigative journalism in America today, I bet many wouldn't believe you.

Which is odd because the media is another area that doesn't seem like a capitalist fan club. Though I guess that depends on the media source and the capitalist.

As intertwined as the political parties, or politicians, and corporations may be I don't think there has been a change in the tone toward the parties and politicians. It appears from the outside to be the same media as before. I don't get ANY newspapers anymore but running from 817 on my tv dial to 820 will take me through CNN, MSNBC and FNC. Not to mention CNBC and, if you jump to 821, FBN. I have not noticed a change in coverage amongst them. They seem to be who they are.

What am I missing?
