It's relatively easy to analyze media outlets, quantify and classify what kind of stories they publish, what kind of topics they focus on, what views they are pushing, etc. Definitely doesn't take much time. Few hours per day for a few days can get you very far. But you probably need some background on propaganda first, manufacturing consent, things like that.
It doesn't change anything though. Media is still not going to focus on important problems. It exists to influence people, not to report on all the right things. And it's worth pointing this out.
