Media these days aren't controlled by the government so much as they are controlled by either right or left wing people. These people in the position to determine what get's reported are the problem with journalism today. It used to be that a journalist could dig up and report what they thought to be important to the public. Along with that they also cited sources that were accredited and could hold up to scrutiny. That is another problem with news today is you see no attempt to even suggest that they uncovered the information that is being reported from somewhere credible. To be honest it also doesn't help that the public watches blindly without questioning the integrity of the reporters or their sources. It's as much the people fault as it is the person in power that media is only reporting what they deem to be in the best interest of the company and it's subsidiaries. To fix this problem people need to question media again and try a little researching on their own. Not every time is it that the first news story you see will be the legitimate story or the full truth. So look around find the facts before deciding this is the truth.
