There is no greater threat to democracy than a media who cannot be trusted by the consumers they have the responsibility to serve. Being caught trying to create another version of reality than is widely accepted or 'covering up' what in known to have happened is the beginning of the end of media positive influence. Hearing or seeing "Media denied reality" from a targeted consumer should be a huge red flag for news directors with integrity everywhere.
A highly functioning, unbiased media is needed for democracy and intelligent dialogue to flourish.
