I agree with jatfla. Hasn't it been that way for years?

Every time you read something like "official sources said", or "according to official sources", you can be pretty sure the media hasn't looked into things for themselves, but merely parrot what they have been told.

My daughter told me she thought it might be the other way around. The news media "controls" the white house??
