Journalism died when Reagan ran shotgun of the propaganda machine called "First Motion Picture Unit". In hindsight it was no wonder that he wanted the former head of the CIA to be his VP. Journalists were told what to say and if they reported something different, they got censored. Everything after that was just who controlled the media controlled the narrative. In today's world China dumps billions of dollars (both real cash and fake cash) on to the airwaves in the form of "paid supporters" and "Advertising dollars". Same goes for the Pharmaceutical industry. 

As for politics, well cash is one thing, but access is the other. If the broadcasting company is to up front with the news then the whole station/network might risk losing their access to the White House or Congress, or even local officials. What we read in the news is a product of extortion and oversite. It's all very disgusting.
