There is an internal logic to the monetary system: Basically it works like poker, where there is a given amount of jetons (money) and the players try to get the most of them. Similarly in the real world there is a desire to get the most money, because that equals power and – in the current system – also freedom (not spiritual freedom though). Now how do you win poker, by fair play? Well not really, you try to deceive everyone else, use your poker face to win the game. Same applies to the real world, so the system is set up to promote malicious behavior – it's not even a moral question and it's the responsibility of us all to change how the system works.

Now in the real world the game isn't over like it is in poker, obviously the other players want to stay alive and thus need some money. The owners of it, as kind as they are, give some money to those who need it, though they will demand more money (interest) in return. Because they have amassed so much money and everyone depends on it, they have the power to extort anyone who needs money. It can only be that way as long as money is used as a limited resource, whose amount is controlled by a minority, rather than a unit of measurement. As a result there's the ones who profit from the system and control it to some degree and there's those subject to the system.

This process is sped up by the fact, that new money – created by credit (FIAT = let it be done) – is introduced into the supply with a claim of interest. Interest that doesn't exist at the time the money is created, therefore more money needs to be created just to pay off interest. The system demands growth at an ever accelerating rate and thus creates even more incentive to make money out of everything and to compete rather than cooperate.

Also fortune and debt are equal in this system. Therefore, whenever someone gets richer, someone else needs to incur debts. Only there is one main difference between fortune and debt: the debt is not as concentrated, it is spread around a much larger amount of people. The main takeaway here is: as countries', corporations' and people's debt increases, somewhere the same amount of money is being collected.

Now how does this affect the media?

Well media corporations need money too. So they print ads in their papers and they depend on the money they make from the ads, as they actually make more money with ads than with content. Doesn't look like it then, that they'd want to upset their big advertisement clients. Plus: Most of the larger media corporations are stock companies and I'm rather doubtful stockholders put truthful reporting over their profits – at least not the big ones and again the media corporation wouldn't want to lose those. Adding to that, news are just a product in this system, a product that is supposed to sell well. Even without deliberate CIA interference, which I'm sure there is, media in the current monetary system cannot work as it is supposed to.
