truly inferior person

A person who has continually proved over and over again that they can perform below the lowest levels of moral and ethical codes. One that seems to not be able to improve of their ability for selfish and narcissistic reasons. Someone who lacks the logical basis for even grasping ethical and moral behavior in a way that is not harmful to those around them such as a sadist or corrupt politician.

The leader was a truly inferior person. Things did not work out well of the public at large because of the widespread corruption and mean-spiritedness. Even those who enabled him were significantly disappointed and felt deplorable for doing so.

Geez, I wonder why Bush hasn't broken open Gerald Ford's surplus WIN buttons, inflation is going to get serious if he doesn't do it soon. It may have taken 15-20 years and a couple recessions but those WIN buttons really did the trick.

1) Ownership, especially when media ownership is consolidated and participatory with regards to self and special interests.
2) Funding sources include both internal and external sources of financing the reporting.
3) Sourcing - where sources can influence action taking advantage of their value to the source, and which can negatively affect access and reliability, and punish those that negatively impact the source or the sources constituents.
4) Flak - negative responses to a media statement, article, or program. It can be lawsuits, intimidation, violence, boycott and destroying livelihood.
5) "being branded fear activating ideology that is not accepted by the hegemony". - communist, socialist, liberal, etc.
