Media Rapidly Losing Its Grip On Control Of News

The media is in a long slide away from their position as the peoples guardians assuring government remains ethical and law abiding.  Today they protect the government and too often serve as its propaganda arm.  These items provide a brief look at this problem which is badly in need of fixing.

The alternative media is racing ahead of the mainstream media with investigative reporting and exposing government wrong doing.   http://www.naturalnews.com/045420_newspapers_investigative_journalism_online_news.html

If this trend takes hold maybe the mainstream media can recover some of its lost credibility due to embarrassment for its failure to report honest news.   http://eaglerising.com/6554/cnn-notices-obama-likes-breaking-laws/

This suggests the mainstream media is sticking to its guns by continuing to magnify things they like and minimize or outright hide things they don't like.  Whatever the mainstream media is engaged in it cannot be called reporting the news.  http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/networks-dodge-huge-irs-scandal-news-doj-attorney-says-lost-lerner-e-mails-do-exist 

The VA scandal continues.  Have you heard the media addressing the matter?  This is just an example of what the media should be digging into and reporting.   http://www.westernjournalism.com/sickening-va-administrator-heart-veterans-health-care-scandal-still-paid-taxpayers-nothing/

This former mainstream investigative reporter is doing what her former colleagues should be doing but far too often are not.  http://www.mrc.org/biasalerts/sharyl-attkisson-schools-abc-cbs-nbc-how-cover-irs-scandal
