The media will never tell the truth like they should.
1. They're a business like any other and will compete with each other for ratings, to be #1. They'll do what it takes, which has nothing to do with honesty.
2. The media, no matter from where, is made up of humans and they have a bias that tends to sway one way or another. You'll very rarely get a report that doesn't lean to one side... sometimes to the point of being completely untruthful.
3. They're easily used, taken advantage of or pressured/bought to say exactly what those in power want them to say. They're afraid of losing their jobs/rights just like everyone else... no matter what the first amendment is.
