Much of the important news is about government.  Expecting the government to accurately report stuff about the government sounds much like what we have here in the US where cops investigate themselves when they shoot people.  In other words, its ridiculous.  

The USA handle things differently. Even if someone felt that the broadcasters here are going too easy on certain politicians or parties, the very same channels host a multitude of satirical programs where really every politician who does stupid things gets panned. Comedians themselves have their own political views, so even there one and the same topic is made fun of from different angles. It would be pretty pathetic government control if the news were manipulated, but comedians are allowed to run loose at the same time.

Well, you clearly trust government. I don't know how that's possible, since every government in human history has proven to be untrustworthy.  But, you are literally saying that government keeps good tabs on government. It doesn't make any sense.
