That, of course, is the problem. The need for an independent and objective press/media is paramount. But that doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon, as corporate news media have long been fully integrated into the go nowhere democratic "shadow-play" system of control.
Keeping people dumb and uninformed is the task of todays MSM. More's the pity.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
