The main info about this is:
A new study appearing at Princeton's website (https://www.princeton.edu/%7Emgilens/Gilens%20homepage%20materials/Gilens%20and%20Page/Gilens%20and%20Page%202014-Testing%20Theories%203-7-14.pdf) (a 42 page pdf Download) has a comprehensive outline of the scientific ways that the statement that America is more-so an “Oligarchy” than a democracy are not merely anecdotal but scientifically “provable”.
FWIW, much of the recent info on various media on this particular subject is based on that Princeton study and is not actually independently done with high level of investigative journalism.
Of course, the mega media (owned by oligarchs) won't give much, if any, attention to it where it really counts and if anything, will try to belittle the study or otherwise spread falsehood, misinformation and deceit to discredit it and no doubt black-list (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/black-list) anyone that has credibility in order to silence them and also when the subject won't go away when they want, they will resort to using a Shill (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill#Journalism) to tell the story instead of a well informed and credible person so as to further discredit the information in general.
