Certainly, we can say that Media has and is being bought off at least in the Western world.

These are all indicators that we live in a finite world and are approaching the limits of growth. We've had almost 8 years of low growth since the financial crisis despite governments and central banks throwing everything they have at the problem and yet society and the MSM still project the belief that we absolutely have to get back to a high rate of growth. I would say the number one problem our society has is an inability to comprehend the end of growth even though for most of human existence growth was not the norm.

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
