Nobody said the media is a not for profit. Except maybe NPR, PBS, and a few others.
But the comment I responded to is whether the government is/should be considered a credible source.
But, I guess I would respond to your comment that many (maybe most/certainly not all) politicians -- the ones who direct (notice I didn't say run) the government are not themselves out for the public interest. Politicans are there to make some money, money, money and power, power, power.
If they have to lie to the media and the American public along the way, is that OK?
