Kevin Erickson commented on Policy of reality versus reality of policy: While no one would argue that the supply and quality of art is plummeting, I am certainly willing to argue that whatever increased access we're enjoying now is still largely mediated by class position, geographic location, broadband access, etc, and that the media deregulation of the 90s has had absolutely disastrous impacts on the diversity of voices--artistic and otherwise, that people can access. People like Douglas and I, educated guys who live in big cities with many cultural amenities might not see it. But people I work with across the country, especially in small towns and rural communities generally feel crushed by the way Wal-Mart culture has steamrolled their local civic life & cultural heritage. I'm thrilled that more people have access to the tools of creativity, and I love projects like Creative Commons, but I've learned to be extremely suspicious about optimistic rhetoric about empowering individuals that's tied to "regulation is an old way of thinking" messages. It's the same stuff we heard during the deregulation era of Clinton. It obscures the ways shallow forms of participation through interactive media can often be tools to increase people's investment in the products of a handful of major entertainment companies and other brands and business interests.Thomas Frank's 1995 essay "The New Gilded Age" seems oddly on point fifteen years later.
