That's Entertainment

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have a speech at Wayne State University a couple weeks ago (alas, I didn't attend). He was eloquent enough for people to wonder why he wasn't running for president, following in the footsteps of his father. A quote from the speech. In agency after agency, lobbyists representing corporations have been put into positions to regulate the industries they came from. Why? The blame is partly on a "negligent and indolent press that has simply let down American democracy. … We are the best-entertained, least-informed people on earth."
