The passage discusses the role of media in reporting news objectively versus distorting or entertaining. It questions whether news today is objective or culturally biased. While some see news as entertainment for profit, the author believes media should objectively report news to inform citizens. Objectivity is difficult due to biases, but organizations like CNN, BBC, and Al Jazeera should make credibility and lack of bias their priority over money-making potential from distorting or entertaining news. Further challenges to objective reporting are discussed.
