I'm not talking about medias being pro- or anti- such console or the other. But I don't think it's as simple as "follow the money" and it's not the only point of a media.

I should have gone in details because obviously people are very ignorant in terms or propaganda/PR: Media outlet aims are paid by people with money, governments, corporations, lobbies, to use their influence in order to change people's mind for their interest.

In the case of any corporations, electronic or whatnot, their spill money in lobbies, associations and other indirect pawns which then inject money in media outlet to change readers into stupid compulsive buyers.

If it's a government who wants to say, attack Iran, they inject money in intermediates like lobbies, think thanks etc...which in their turn inject money in medias to influence readers into stupid supporter of a war.

Of course it gets complicated when several people have the same interest which makes the propaganda stronger, like oil companies, car companies and government together, or Microsoft, the Kinnect and the NSA...
