Of course the media is a corporate whore, how else would they make the money..the only influence we have is not to watch it, read it or listen to it....Understand that it is everyones fault that things are the way they are. Until we break from the method of thinking in the mode of western or established thought (he who has the gold makes the rules) and learning to value truth in all its forms, we will be a slaves.
People want to believe that the media is not corrupt. They want to believe they are in control. The more they are shown they are out of control, the more they attempt to believe they are. People live for the moment, they have no ability to look into the future. I think this is something good, because it means that when it all breaks down and people are starving dying of disease and war, the ones who are smart enough to break this habit, will live on and the ones that were not, will parish. Good riddance.
I think the media is its own political propaganda machine. They slant every story to emphasize their own political viewpoint. Their whole broadcast is one long political commentary.
