For most of the people who are in the news business, they are high functioning psychopaths that love to tell other people what to think/what to believe. They are the ultimate controllers of information flow and have immense power in brainwashing.

They are cold, calculating, and will do anything they can to get ahead or put out information on something.

A good movie that highlights how unethical and fucked up the news business is is that Night Crawler movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightcrawler_(film)
