Any respect Craiglist's owners had earned disappeared when they buckled to government pressure over hysterical sex trafficking and prostitution accusations. They are cowards.
The term "mainstream media" should be dumped. It's not sufficiently descriptive. Instead, "establishment media" is more direct and honest. Their problem is not that they are mass market media, but that they are allied with the power interests in government and business: the establishment.
The conversation in America sounds increasingly like an echo of the totalitarian countries that have come before. Live with injustice. Price of doing business. Corruption happens.
This is the country the founders warned us against.

This post is uncharacteristically naive for this site. A technology doesn't spring to life because politicians authorize it. Even when politicians throw billions at technologies they fail. This is more ridiculous than "exciting."

Setho is right, Marx was wrong. The economic value of an item is what people are willing to pay for it, not what it costs to produce. Economics in One Lesson is also available online for free, yet people are willing to pay infinitely more for other forms. Is this false economy? On the contrary, it is a fine example of consumer preference.
Economics in One Lesson is an excellent book. Read it for free here:
Dentists are members of a state enforced cartel. They don't have to talk it out as adults. Physicians and dentists are using their monopoly powers to try to squelch any publicly expressed objections to their services. There is even a company, Medical Justice, which provides physicians with a contract that, if signed by new patients, prevents them from criticizing the doc on the Internet. If the patient won't sign, the doc refuses to see the patient.
This sort of contract would be acceptable if the market for medicine were free and consumers had power. But doctoring is a state-imposed cartel, so consumers already have but slight power, and this contract reduces it further. Imaging if all retailers were to make as a condition of sale that consumers could not make negative comments about them.
