Cenk Uygur asks Russell Brand what he thinks of American versus British media? Are they liberal? Conservative?

“I think the reason that people say the media is liberal is to preemptively prevent true liberalism emerging. If you say, oh, the media’s so liberal and pro-homosexual and pro-lefty, then there’s a kind of nervousness about promoting ideas of equality and unity and togetherness. The media is an extremely conservative institution. I’ve been on that MSNBC before. It is an extremely conservative idea. The way that arguments are framed allows debate in a tiny, tiny circumference. No one is saying, hey, don’t vote for Republican OR Democratic parties, instead devolve power so that the ordinary people have power over their own lives.”

“Take the money out of politics. Otherwise you have a political system that only represents corporations,” Brand continues. “I think we need to be more ambitions in what our understanding of change is.”
