Media as Watchdog.

       Media is said to be the eyes and the ears of the people. But is it desirable? I read this PDF file a book about media as watchdogs, it is stated here that "Media" is "scandalmonger" meaning that the end goal is to amuse the audience rather than to inform them and mobilize them for reform/ development.
