There's a big disconnect between the corporate media and working people.

7. Local news has always been more trusted

People read their local papers, and years and years of only getting 1 side of the story prejudices people towards that side. "See, look at these business leaders doing everything." When every story about business is how business leaders are creating revenue and jobs, you create an attitude about business leaders, that they are all that matters. That's how the idea that businesses owners "create jobs" out of thin air becomes accepted instead of the economic reality that demand is what creates jobs, and demand is best when workers are taking home more.

When a business is making some big decision, we never hear from their workers anymore. We used to, and it's a shame they no longer have much of a voice in the local newspapers. Often times unions and workers have a differing opinion on decisions that their managers have forced on them, often times the workers have a take that would help the business overall, but we rarely hear it anymore. Instead we've hero worshipped business owners and managers in this country to the point where they can do no wrong and helping them do whatever they want becomes society's only priority. Got to cut taxes to make the business owners come, got to cut regulations to make them stay, have to ensure cheap labor so they'll keep paying taxes. There's an attitude that the owner of a business matters more than all of his workers combined.
