It's stressing what's gone on for decades no longer is tolerable and itemizing real solutions. It's spending less time citing problems and more on specific fixes. It's turning America's money run system on its head, saying this no longer will stand and how to achieve it.

It's not rocket science. Whenever it's been done it works, including successfully in colonial America, under Lincoln, and today in North Dakota - the only state with a publicly owned bank that let it prosper throughout today's crisis. 

Why not everywhere across America so all states can flourish like North Dakota? Why not in Washington under a nationalized Federal Reserve, not a private one run by and for Wall Street.

A better world is possible but major media scoundrels won't say how, let alone endorse the idea.

Notably, The New York Times has been America's lead voice for corporate interests and political Washington. It supports wealth and power, not public needs and concerns. It endorses imperial wars, ducks major issues like corporate and political fraud, calls money run elections real ones, and fake democracy legitimate.

It's turns a blind eye to eroding civil and human rights, endorses harsh austerity when stimulus is needed, and barely notices politicians on the take. Initially it ignored Wall Street protests, then treated them dismissively until paying more attention but not enough.

One editorial, whatever its merits, doesn't undue longstanding policy supporting wealth and power. Nor will it change proliferating managed news throughout America's media instead of real information and analysis everyone needs to know.

Above all, people need to understand that today's system is too rotten to fix. Change depends on leveling it and starting over, beginning with putting money power back in public hands where it belongs.
