Nowadays it is much clearer that media is pushing the goals of some interest groups. It is obvious in the case of Fox News, but similarly for more traditional newspapers and TVs. They're pushing the agenda of big business and wealthy individuals, with secondary views on popular topics that don't threaten big interests.

Another important issue that you'll figure out in mainstream media is that they're always pushing the idea of us against other countries. They're promoting the underlying notion that we should always be at war (or close to that) with countries that are not aligned with the current interests of the elites. There is always some "enemy" that is a threat to "civilization" and that we desperately need to contain or destroy. Not only this benefits the big interest groups, but this also creates a fictional narrative of reality that keeps viewers interested in learning about the latest developments of this "holy crusade for civilization".
