You may want to think about whether that is your bias talking or actually in line with what is happening - it is very much being covered, anecdotally I see articles all the time about it right now. Don't really watch much 24hr news, but I see clips from them talking about it also, so I know they are covering it also.
I sorta agree in one aspect - I don't think media really has the ability anymore to hold gov't to account, but I don't think it's because they aren't talking about these things or being a mouthpiece - some are, some aren't (and who is where depends on the issue, party, etc. often). No, to me it seems it's because gov't just doesn't care what the media says anymore. THAT is the consistent part, they've learned that no matter what the media says, the people don't have the power to change anything if they just ignore it or put out talking points, it will almost always just blow over. And yes, that is bad.
