I am troubled that the USA media is ambivalent in reporting a protectionist view of our democracy; allowing a Neocon administration their own reality

"Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist." Source: Garth S. Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell, Propaganda And Persuasion, 4th edition, 2006.


Is it correct to criticize the USA media when reporting turns into bolstering an American public for war through accurate reporting from a manipulative and corrupt White House? Where does it end? And does our Constitution protect itself from such an outrage without the guarantees of impeachment when a political party uses the USA for exploitation of power to achieve wealth while deliberately ignoring their Constitutional responsibilites?
