Has anyone explored the idea of regulatory capture in reverse to explain collusion between major media and the state?
@TrivialGravitas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture … is the tendency of government agencies to become tools of the industries they regulate.

@TrivialGravitas If you think of news media as watchdogs over the government, the relationship runs the other way.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@St_Rev Ah, so nothing to do with regulation per se. -
@TrivialGravitas It would explain how eg NPR often acts as a mouthpiece of the state department, for all their left-liberal pretentions. -
@St_Rev I think to a large extent, the government is the people the media put in charge of the country.
