This seems so clear and easily understandable: news media are owned by elites/corporations who use media to get their way in just about everything. Part of the benefit of owning and controlling news media is: avoid letting the public know inconvenient truths (1), the ability to affect election results, and the ability to split the population into more easily controlled groups (e.g., Democrats and Republicans in the USA).
