The media is corporate. DotCom and a bunch of other Coms are corporate. The Federal bureaucracy is corporate as is our political system. This country has always been about the right to own property and live your life as you please within the law (to varying degrees). To be free is to be greedy. In his way Tocqueville observed this. He also noted the following:

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

And,

In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.
