According to the The Government Accounting Office, the Bush administration spent $1.6 billion over the last two and a half years on public relations operations. That's $1.6 billion of our tax money commandeered for, among other things, O.T.I.-style partisan propaganda here at home, aimed at affecting domestic elections. Included in this figure is a mysterious $15 million paid directly to individual members of the media.

Its a strange marriage isn't it? Capitalism with Democracy. The first makes us apathetic and increasingly desiring, the second asks us for our informed moral opinion. Which is most prevelant in Western society now? It seems the first. So what does this mean for democracy?
