In the US, the giant of the newspaper industry was William Randolph Hearst, who used those papers mostly for personal gain. He foemented actual invasions ( mainly of Mexico, where he owned a ranch ).

He'd damaged the reporting of American history in a manner to set back the literature for a century. He's set the stage for most of the nonsense American believe.

Of course small papers can maintain some degree of integrity but there's very few voices in mass media that can.

I am very happy if good journalism still exists in Norway. That's great. In America? I'm much less hopeful.
