now that has to be one of the most naive statements ever made. the media, as you refer to it (I will assume you mean mainstream media), is owned by large corporations. those corporations will do whatever makes them more money. if the 'truth' makes money, then they may tell it. but if a slightly altered 'truth' (or an outright lie) makes them more money, then that's what gets aired.
