i havent said 'all' news organizations - big, far-reaching organizations. the organizations which have the power to affect the perception of the public, cannot be left to themselves, by the powers that be. actually, a goodly number of these were founded by the corporations linked to those parties.
a good example is how amazon, paypal, visa et al have been made to cut any kind of donations/funding to wikileaks.

similar to above. your local affiliate may be positively oriented, however, if any news it is bringing is damaging to the interests of the megacorporation holders, those news wont find their way to national level. and if the local positive affiliate gets too harmful in your locale, it will be dealt with through usual means of removal/incapacitation which we call in general, 'business'.
