Just remember only a small portion of the news reading population have an intellegence high enough to understand what the news is. These are also the people who mentally tune out the advertisements (which keep free to air TV going).
The bulk of the viewers like the "fairy stories" and a great number believe them. These are also the people who are susceptable to advertising. So who would you aim your programs at?
Even the government sources are politicised to advertise the benevolence of the current ruling party.
It is a pity the ethics of journalism has degenerated to this level.
