Finding the correct role of media in a democratic culture is a tricky thing to pin down. Democracy, in theory, means that everyones opinion goes into the pot, and the most prominent opinion will be what the country agrees to act upon. The operative word is opinion. No one is right about anything, ever. Everyone has opinions that they believe to be right, though. Where do these opinions come from? Why the media of course.
The major corporations of America control the media.
We are brought back to my earlier post of Problem, Solution, Reaction. People are told what is going on, they're told how to feel about it, then they go to 'vote' on these topics. Voting which is rigged for good measure.
Corporate influence is a threat to America if the corporation wants it to be.
A non-corrupt government would be the optimum media distributing/regulating system, but lets not fool ourselves with childish dreams! The internet is the best form of media available to us. Everyone has access to it, everyone has the ability to put information up.
