It's most of the equation, however. People can be as cynical as they want about the media, but in effect it is largely a mirror. If the populace responds to fear-mongering and weather-with-titties, they give them fear-mongering and weather-with-titties. You can make the claim that they won't bite the hand that feeds them, in terms of sponsors. But beyond that, it's as crass and basic in its instincts as the people who watch it.
It was a rehash of the 6 series of screenwipe. I wasn't posting that for charlie, more for Adam Curtis, who is great film maker on journalism. His series 'the power of nightmares' is fascinating. His method of delivering doc's is great.

Many of these knowledge gaps coming to the revolution in media cost-cutting over the past 20-30 years where expensive, knowledgable, experienced types were replaced wholesale by far cheaper, more attractive, younger, and more clueless reporting substitutes.
My dept did a massive content analysis of all newspaper publications in the uk over a 6 month period (iirc) and they found that 90% of stories published we're just rehashing press releases - 'churn-alism' as my tutor calls it. Loads of criticisms of journalism cite the study now, im citing it in my research project and diss.
If you are just rehashing a press release then you clearly have no background knowledge on the subject or are too lazy to question what you are reading.

Rip-and-read is what my wife calls it. She used to be a TV reporter.
The problem again goes back to cost-cutting measures. When you have to fill a newspaper or airtime, you don't get much reward for the additional time you put in to get things right, to ask questions, to check facts. So what happens is that industry makes the reporter's job that much easier by doing everything short of putting words in their mouths when they have a dozen stories to complete in a given day.
