I see no serious discussion of socialism, union issues, environmental issues, etc. in mainstream media, especially on the TV, cable or broadcast.
In the United States the idea of Free Market /Consumerist Uber Alles is the de facto viewpoint, and anything that presents an alternate view just simply does not exist for mainstream media. It is the very water that the fish who swim in do not see. Now I'm not saying that free market capitalism is per se bad, I'm just saying that other outlooks aren't even entertained. In fact, the only place they are is on FOX, Rush Limbaugh, etc - and then only to be used as a strawman as to "how kooky and moonbatty are these lefty guys"...
