Political media are often recognized by the people as puppeteers.
Wm. Randolph Hurst is often considered the basis for the Spanish American War as it was he who pushed hard for the war with Spain.
His power through the press was formidable but not insurmountable. He had a couple of political failures.
The point is credibility can only be stretched too far. Proves true Lincoln's addage (or so attributed to him) that you can fool all of the people some of the time; some of the people all of the time; but you can never fool all of the people all of the time.

Its easy to see, the corrupt influence of Rupert Murdock. Its always the same lies, deception, deceit, just hearing the words Fair & Balanced, makes me laugh, what a joke, and a insult to anyone's Integrity, and honesty. Yes thats FOX'S Screws, its sure as heck, NOT news, but plain old GOP propaganda. What a dis-service to the
American public. And now its the Wall Street Journal to boot, via Dow Jones.

Yes, reference the yellow journalism period at the turn of the century in the US.
