It is almost as if the people writing for the TV Club have no understanding of what The Wire is really about. The Wire has never been about Capitalism. It has always been about institutional breakdown in Baltimore. It is about the breakdown of schools, police, childrens services, political figures and this season the media.

Blaming Capitalism for the breakdown of Baltimore is liberal nonsense. What Baltimore needs is less of the government that has been destroying the city since the 1960s and more Capitalism. Yikes, these folks are really botching the TV Club this year.
