Examples
| Page name | Description |
|---|---|
| Corporate media | The corporate media refers to itself as 'mainstream' in an effort to marginalize so-called "alternative" media. While some instances (e.g. BBC) are not strictly commercial, all the corporate media is hierarchically structured, so a very small number of editors can censor or modify its output. |
| Presstitute | Journalists who give biased and predetermined views in favour of the government and corporations. |
