Which media? The media that published Snowden? Or Manning? The media that broke this NSA unlawful behaviour story?
Western media IMHO isnt really 'an institution', its hundreds of institutions. Me? I read the BBC for general current afairs, The Economist for in depth exploration of issues and topics and a bit of the Guardian here and there although it is a bit left wing for my tastes. Oh and once in a while Fox News just out morbid curiosity about what's going on in that particular alternate dimension of reality. There's plenty of choice out there.
I used to love reading the English edition of Pravda back when I was a student. I really miss the USSR, Putin and co are all the shittyness without any of the Red Star chic.
