Influence of media in newsbuilding

For my paper in Bezalel, I am doing some research on the imfluence of images in our perception of the world.
Neccessary I have to research the way of newsbuilding.
So now I am reading on the mediacoverage of the Watergate-scandal.
This gives another perspective on the matter.
It comes back to the power of the media and how they are not able to be aware of that...
The same thing now with the events in Iraq.

The biggest news-supplier in the US (and thus the world //see CNN...) is the White House, the second one the Pentagon that gives a daily pressconference.

Makes you wonder about your perspective of the world. Doesn't it...

(Interesting note: the CIA admitted in the '70s that they had an agent in every main newspaper in the world. Who says that they are not anymore today?)
