About Status Coup

There’s a notion that’s been perpetrated by a web of powerful, well-connected elites that America is a land of unlimited possibility and opportunity for all. This American dream has been branded and stuffed down your throats via television, pop-culture, and our nation’s news platforms. The problem: it’s actually is a dream, one intentionally kept far from realization by a tight-knit cabal of lobbyists, politicians, bankers, corporations and their allies in corporate media.

Since the deregulation of the media industry in the 1990’s, corporatization of America’s fourth estate has left the majority of real people’s struggles, environmental genocide, economic devastation, police brutality, and widespread corruption off the airwaves and leading newspaper front pages.

Why?

Follow the money! Ownership of our media has been seized by a mix of multi-billion dollar corporate conglomerates or wealthy plutocrats. The result: sensationalism, endless faux-controversy, propaganda, and corporate-framed “news” that leaves citizens uninformed, misinformed, and ultimately, inactive as the country’s morph to oligarchy accelerates.
