False. He said that about 1949. This was not a prediction, but a statement on his view of 1949 society.

Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

He was right then, it hasn't gotten better.

Agree, that's why a public, interference free forum like X is so important.

Not the argument. More like "Ok I've spent half of my take home pay on housing, half of the remaining on childcare, and half of the remaining on monthly groceries and now I'm living paycheck to paycheck"
