In the US, the media is quite introspective. They talk and write excessively about themselves and the various media outlets critique each other to no end.

You'd have a pretty difficult time pegging the "US media". Some people outside of the US seem to think that CNN is the be all and end all of US news but it's not even the most popular cable news network in the United States.

We're probably the most news-inundated society in the history of the world. The market supports three major cable news networks in addition to an endless stream of news magazines and newspapers with every slant imaginable. Some very conservative. Some very liberal. Some are very critical of the current administration and some are the opposite.
So there's nobody independent keeping an eye on all of them?
