This happens pretty often actually. The same early investors own the media companies so they get to push stories to get companies huge valuations. The media is there to make money too! One thing America lacks is public radio/tv whose goal is to serve the public. People keep forgetting that the media is private. Whoever controls the media controls the people.

well that's not panacea neither, since budget comes from government/state, and so with change of government leading directors are often changed too for 'a more compatible view'.

just look at post-soviet/eastern block media, we all have those (tv/radio) but nobody expects anymore true objectivity there.
