Yep! I'm with you Phantom.
Your quote "Perhaps a better description would be "designed to sell newspapers or increase viewers to doubtful current affairs TV shows" is pretty well on the money, add to this the fact that a lot of today's so called journalism is thinly disguised advertising or simply a venue for vested interests to promote a cause, i.e. Aussie primary producers.
