> And if you can't, we'll then I guess you don't matter that much. This is not true for the media. A functioning, critical, and trustworthy media is very important to society. Profit ≈ importance is just flat out wrong in general. (Not saying I agree with this govt intervention)

I'm not sure you understand what media is in this country. Its all garbage. Even the "fair and unbiased" govt funded ABC is a total toothless joke. https://youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=HtV-2X4BjQI https://youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=HtV-2X4BjQI

    Thats fair, and I would question anyone getting all their news from the Daily show or last week tonight. Its incredibly biased. Australia's problem is that our news orgs are corrupt to the core, every journo is afraid to go against Murdoch in any way shape or form their careers are ended if they do. So here we are, with this "comedian," doing a better reporting job than pretty much every single outlet in the country. With very few exceptions.

I hear the media say this all around the world all the time, and they of course always mean themselves... But is it true? There are many and many independent reporters with their blogs and twitters (do we call that media?), independent news sites (that probably is media) that are not with the mainstream media on these legal requirements, and actually in my country the mainstream media is so corrupt a half of the population simply does not care about them and get their news from other sources, like blogs and twitter.
