The Free Press

Más información sobre el libro

The essay critiques the "mainstream media," which the author labels as the "Capitalist Press," highlighting its role in creating fake news through manipulation and deceit. Written over a century ago, it remains relevant today, arguing that this press serves hidden agendas rather than the public. The author contrasts it with smaller, independent outlets that prioritize truth despite financial limitations. He warns of the growing power of the Capitalist Press, which extends into film and television, and optimistically suggests that the rise of the Internet could restore balance to media representation.
