    Part of this realization goes in hand with the recognition that, overwhelmingly, nearly anyone who is anyone in media is related to someone rich and powerful.

    I don’t even mean kids of movie stars or record producers cause that’s just the standard nepotism everyone knows about. I mean like a ton of famous people are at most one familial step removed from an influential political actor or business magnate who helped fund their career pursuit in some fashion. There’s definitely exceptions and you can find some with good politics regardless but it’s pretty wild to realize how much of our media is created by rich failsons.
