I've studied the corporate media's coverage of the JFK assassination quite a bit, and sadly it's been like this since 1964. They have regularly trotted out "documentaries" to back up the WR, "special issues" of magazines to gush about the latest lone nutter book. A few rare exceptions like Fred J. Cook and Jack Anderson, but mostly the alternative press has always been the place to go for criticism of the WR.
Today it's so much worse. The news industry is now in the hands of 5 multinational conglomerates who make everything from diapers to missiles. Yes, we have the internet, but the way things are going, I wonder how long it will be before the NSA/CIA/Pentagon decide to take it under their control.
