Media faces little external accountability
"The media has little of the external accountability which other walks of life now face."
Claim made by Michael White in The Guardian:

"The media has little of the external accountability which other walks of life now face.

It's a major player in the triangle between government and governed, but rarely acknowledges its own role, let alone that, for example, when a senior policeman complains in a speech, the complaint is often directed against press and TV.

The two groups I know best are politicians and journalists. Politicians are more honest, not because they're nobler people, but because they're more accountable. It's as simple as that. "
