*** It definitely didn't help that Dan Rather said that the Tiger Woods scandal was "serious news".
** Some who [[Take a Third Option]] think that, in real life, the media is most likely a fusion of Types 1 and 4 and especially type 6 as oppose to Type 3. They basically say that the news media isn't biased to the left ''or'' the right, but instead [[Status Quo Is God|to whatever the status quo is at the moment]].
***
** The mere existence of E! and ESPN's "news" branch exemplify Type 4.
* One report said another reason for this trope is that a lot of the older journalists are way too cynical, and indifferent to really care about being a hard nosed investigative journalist. While younger reporters/journalists are too scared to speak out or go against the status quo. Which leads to the media being uninformative.
