Capitalism Media and More

Capitalism is in my opinion the best by which to run an economy. The circulation of money keeps the ball rolling, also capitalism allows an individual to become what he or she wants. A person can become n self made billionaire if he works hard enough, is creative enough, and has things go his way. Capitalism is without a shadow of a doubt the back bone by which the American Dream stands. However, which a free market economy comes greed. The love of money has been said to be the root of all evil. I do not know if this rings true or not, thought there is question that money has an impact of the media we consume every day. A corporation such as Disney has lots of stock, and they own many different divisions in sectors of our economy. They have the power to push their product on the American economy by marketing it all over the place. The do not give the option to avoid there product to a person that uses technology such as the internet or watches television. Disney is just one of the juggernauts in the media world. The media is regulated by dollars. What is published and released gets out because someone wanted it out. Money also covers many backdoor deals up, so journalism is not able to do their part to divulge the corruption. Capitalism is controlled by the rich and elite, so they own and control the media. Journalists get paid to do a job. That job is dictated by the agenda of media owning shareholders.
