Crap is King

I've heard this song many times, but tonight was the first time I truly listened to it. I never realized it was a critique of mass media, specifically, journalism. Due to mass-media consolidation, it isn't too often that you hear lyrics these days which criticize such powerful institutions. I hope that the internet can one day support a fluorishing "ecosystem" of musical expression, where critical messages can be conveyed un-molested by the powers that be. Recent legislation has been preventing this from happening, and I'm uncertain as to the potential of current movements to enact any meaningful change.
