Rafal, you know, i think you're an intelligent guy in your own way. But you know i don't think there are any absolutes "truths" in this world. I think its time to grow out of "dogmatism" - not retrench in them any further.
I know for a lot of people, their identity is too closely intertwined with their politics to do this, so it is a difficult step...
You seem to suggest, in your slightly slippery arguments that, in a fully perfect market system of no governments just markets - some kind of paradise would be produced. I.E, the free market will naturally produce the most excellent independent free thinking journalists because the market is so morally good.
Now i don't know where you base that optimism on. History certainly doesn't show this. Otherwise, the perfect free market would be the defacto system all across the world, and even its biggest champion (the US) has had to me critical sacrificies of this ideal at expedient times.
You should have a more "nuanced" pragmatic outlook to the world. Like the buddah said: "Follow those who seek the truth, run away from those who claim to have found it."
:D XXXXXXX :D
