Former U.S. Senator Ernest "Fritz" Hollings book, Making Government Work discussed the failure of journalists to keep Americans informed. They publish propaganda instead of facts for readers to weigh and make decisions.
[From article]
The first line of defense against the illusions created by the elites is the press. And they have been castrated – or, perhaps more accurately, they have cut off their own testicles. They play along with the fantasies by choice, preferring to indulge in their little partisan games while society blows up and the world careens out of control. As for the rest of us, the lack of critical thinking skills among ordinary citizens living in the mostly democratic West results in most people swallowing the treacle emanating from Obama and the rest without a second look – if they even bother to take a first look.
