That's your opinion but I myself am a Marxist-Leninist (among other things as I stated at the start of this thread) and I believe that the role of the media is to inform the masses (which I assume you have picked up on by now)

It's called news for a reason. It's supposed to show the people about affairs in their country and the world not entertain them if they want to rot their brain then they can but don't let that become news. There needs to be a clear boundary between news and entertainment.
