Bernie: The Podcast
Want to know why there is very little coverage of working class issues?
Or why the media is generally pro-war?
Want to know why we never hear about the ruling class?
Maybe it's the fact that just a handful of multinational corporations control 90% of the media in America.
I created this podcast to hold in-depth conversations about topics not usually covered by the mainstream media, including oligarchy, the class divide, corporate consolidation of the media, the healthcare crisis, the growing labor movement, the military-industrial complex, the failed bipartisan foreign policy consensus and more.
Bernie: The Podcast
Oligarchy
This episode is about what, in my view, is the central issue of our time—and that is the enormous concentration of wealth in the hands of a few billionaires, and the fact that every day we are sliding further away from democracy into an oligarchic form of government. We talk about how these billionaires are able to stash much of their wealth in tax havens and how they exert enormous influence over our political system.
