Well, actually, it's both. Why do we all persist in looking for just "one" problem or "one" answer. In almost all things in life, it is never just "one". There are almost always several, interconnected reasons. As long as we persist in just looking for one causal factor, all we will do is argue over which one it is. When we can agree that it is several factors contributing to the problem and put together strategies to solve and negate each of those, why, then, we'll be getting somewhere. Right now, all we're accomplishing is to succumb to the "divide and conquer" method.
Imagine what would happen if several people who wanted to control things differently took charge of "the media"?
By the way, I think that you were very right in one of your earlier posts in another thread -- the Internet is the key. Generate enough Internet interest and guess who comes knocking on your door?
