The media is also the only institution with the balls and the backing (sometimes) to stand up and call the government on corrupt practices. The fact that the government is responsible for killing a large number of journalists proves that they are doing something right, because otherwise the government would have resorted to lawsuits. Take a look at what the PCIJ have been doing, or even (I'll hate myself for saying this) brainless shows like Isumbong mo kay Tulfo. They still help.
So please don't generalize in calling the media annoying and irresponsible. However, I do agree that the giant mainstream media is annoying and irresponsible most of the time.
