The correct answer to this open question is the following.

"Media is often used as a tool by organizations to mislead the public".

I agree with this statement for the following reasons.

Most major news media companies are not independent, that is why they cannot offer the objectivity that is demanded in journalism. On the contrary, most major news companies and TV channels are owned by powerful businessmen and corporations that have many political and economic interests in the country and worldwide.

For instance, the case of Disneyland, which owns ABC and ESPN; and other media companies.

Of course, people who work for those changes have a conflict of interest and cannot talk or write against those interests or political leaders that received the support during their political campaigns.

That is why most of the time news is biased by these media channels.
