Information to the public that would allow them to make good decision making. The Media is no longer interesting in being a check on power, those days have long passed.

The Media is owned by a few oligarchs who are only interested in owning more and having a seat at the dinner table with the power brokers.

The Oligarchs who own the media determine “their personal agenda” and then direct their dogs of war to pursue that agenda. This thought applies to Print and Electronic Media.
