The differences are independence and credibility. The media, let’s say ABC, NBC or the Washington Post are not affiliated with the government. They are privately owned by business corporation and they are highly respected. The media reports things freely without worrying to watch over its shoulders.

People believe in them, the government is afraid of them. If it reports inaccurately, it loses its credibility and so does its business revenue.

The media is the backbone of democracy in the US.

You could go to Youtube and type Fox News and select one of the screens. Fox News invites politicians to asnwer questions on TV. It grills them unimaginable. When it’s over, it’s politics as usual and no one takes politics as personal.

A little too long here.
