Are there any people out here that know the true function of the media?

Everyday I read on YA that people hate Fox News or MSNBC or whatever and that both are stupid and wrong, or that Rush said this ext ext ext. Have you ever really stopped and thought about what the news is?? The media in all its forms exist for one sole reason, TO SELL ITSELF!!!! the reason fox news has bill o'reily is because people want to watch it, they find it interesting, the reason MSNBC has Dateline is because people like watching things from that point of view, so they package a product after tailoring it to whom ever they want to sell it to. Only we as a people can decide not to be brain washed by either side.
Fizgig: But making profit is the end goal of any business (unless they're not for profit) if you go to a restraunt they give you food so you will pay them, if they weren't in it to make money they would give all their food out for free.
Repubs: are you telling me that a government funded news station isn't bias to the party in charge?
 
I truly believe the function of the media (specifically the three major news networks) are there to entertain. I do not believe that is their intent, but it is what it is. If anyone takes the opinions of pundits as their own opinions, clearly they will remain ignorant.
