I believe that the relationship between that of the current media and our government is one of complacency and fear. Our media strikes out at our government and officials but only in superficial and non-integral ways. The media is complacent to gives the viewers what they want, watered down information and shock value. While this serves its purpose of selling copy's and making people money behind the scenes it also serves a much more sinister purpose the government quite well in distracting us from relatively important issues. Our media fears our government and its wrath for disturbing the quite waters of America therefore they delve into only things of no true value to the viewer.
This is pretty sketchy. Go back and look at GNGL. Are the issues the same or was the media freer in 1950?
