As mentioned back on Range 1 by the Circuit Rider, there is a malignant problem in a majority of media organizations. For instance, if you take those talking heads seriously who appear nightly on the major network news telecasts, you're in trouble! They don't "report" news in true journalistic fashion -- this bunch in their tailor made suits with their 7 figure salaries make a vain attempt to be your superior intellectually and presume to tell you how your ought to "think" about things --eventually convincing you to adopt their value system, which is morally and spiritually bankrupt!
And as the Circuit Rider noted on Range 1, "once in a while there is a flow of fresh air and a burst of bright light which rises above the media culture slime pit." Just check out the following sources to see how different "news" can really be when reported responsibly.
Check out how the mainstream TV media gets its fingers into the political pie and influences elections at Media Fingers in the Political Pie!
By the way, while you got the boots on and are in a feisty mood and want to call some politician to task for irresponsibility somewhere, go on down to Contacting Politicians Everywhere! Enjoy!

Try on these custom "definitions" out of the Federalist dictionary so that you may better understand how the mainstream media has its fingers in the political pie, and does a masterful job of determining the outcome of a presidential election more than any of us realizes -----Pollaganda -- n. 1. Media polling used to manipulate public opinion and advance a particular bias. This is primarily accomplished by television networks, on which most people rely for daily news. (Those who rely on print media for information are less likely to be subjected to extreme bias, and more inclined to discriminate between balanced and biased reporting.)
Pollagandize -- v. 1. To engage in pollaganda. 2. The systematic propagation of television media polls to manipulate public opinion by: first, saturating viewers with "reporting" which reflects a doctrinal bias; second, designing and conducting public opinion surveys which reflect that bias; and third, further proselytizing viewers by treating media poll results as "news." 3. Using pollaganda to induce "bandwagon psychology" (the human tendency to aspire to the side perceived to be in the majority), thus driving public opinion toward an original media bias.
Most people answering early polling questions about who will receive their vote do so on the basis of name recognition. And, of course, name recognition is driven primarily by the television media -- both media buys and free media bias. Then the media conducts and reports its outcome-based polling, setting up the bandwagon momentum, which greatly influences the outcome of elections.
