"The book also points the finger at the press. They ask: Where is the accountability? Corporate interests and mergers, something I have been increasingly concerned about, usurp reporting. They say, in order to appear objective and balanced, and to please the corporate bosses and sponsors, news operations are engulfed in attempting to appear unbiased. It's become a televised see-saw of sorts. One side pitted against the other, going up and down or back and forth, but not really telling the audience what's actually going on."
