You can't be that naive. You think every piece of corruption has been exposed? Usually when corruption is exposed it's about something that's been going on for years. Yet somehow you think all corruption as of right now has been exposed?
When the government calls for censorship of all media that oppresses their narrative and the media hires former CIA agents and parrots their talking points, you might as well have state run media.
- Lammy 5y ago> and the media hires former CIA agents and parrots their talking points To be fair (And Balanced), they also hire people who applied to CIA and were "rejected". Being the son of a Voice Of America director probably helps too. https://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-host-tucker-carlson-biography-of-right-wing-superstar-2020-7 https://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-host-tucker-carlson... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Carlson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Carlson

I do not believe “the media” is actively working to hide corruption. Whoever “they” employ, there are simply too many media outlets for one to reasonably believe it is remotely state controlled. Further, I find it laughable to believe, in the age of information, that any calls to censorship that you claim exist are remotely effective.
