How good is the media at informing the people?

Embed an example of political commentary on television and describe how it works to support or detract from keeping the public informed.


People have been bringing up the issue of Obama's birth certificate recently, most notably Donald Trump. I beleive news stations have detracted from what is really important, such as Japan's crisis, the Middle East, and our budget. However, news stations have focused in on whether a president, who has been in office for two years already, was born in Hawaii. Donald Trump gained news recognition after Obama came out with the certificate with a press conference. Here is a video retaining to the issue this last week.
