In a Political Entity, the Media and its Objectivity is very important.

In any Political Entity, the 'Media' and its 'Objectivity' is very important. Without a 'Media', the 'Bottom' would never know what the Top is doing, and often times, there are things that the 'Top' does not want the 'Bottom' to know. All Political Entities create a 'Relationship' between the Top and the Bottom and the proper function of the Media is to keep the Bottom informed about the 'functions of the Top of Power'. Its a very important 'Political Relation' and one that establishes a certain 'Political Relationship'; in a Democracy, between the 'Representatives' at the Top and the 'Many Peoples' at the Bottom. The function of the media is to monitor this 'Relation' and report it to the People at the Bottom. Without the Media, the Bottom would never know what is happening at the Top of Power and the Top would never know what the Bottom is thinking or doing. Of course, the most important Requirement the Media has is to be 'Objective' about the Reportage. But, the Problem that inheres in such a Relation is that the Top is the 'One' and the Bottom is the 'Many'. There's that old, 'ancient Problematic' about the 'relation' between the 'One and the Many'. The One and the Many is an essential relation of Government. It must exist. But we've discovered that in the formation of our Democracy, the first thing the Representatives did was to divide into 'Political Parties' each with a different 'Political Ideology'. Already we have a difference. Now, ask yourself, if the division was a "Party Division" into Democratic Political Ideology, why cant the Parties act 'Democratically'. Why is there so much animosity between the 'Parties' that they argue about 'Procedures' instead of Substance? The quest is for the 'Truth' of purported 'Political activity' and not about what can be 'withheld' from the 'Peoples at the Bottom'. Who do the Parties Represent? Why are the 'People' confused by shifting 'Political Talk' that does not address the 'Real Issues'. The Real Issue is about 'Competency' and 'Leadership'. A Nation cannot be 'driven' with 'Economic Principles'. Where are the 'Real Politicians'.
