Not a 'corporate media'??  Then I gather there is no reliance on corporate
sponsorship at all?  Is that correct?  There's no 'corporate censorship'?
No business have threatened (or actually) withdrawn sponsorship whenever
someone in the media has expressed a view counter to that held by the
corporation?  Is that right?

Okay, fill me in on how America's and/or America's CIA involvement in
Vietnam, Nicaragua, Guatemala, the Phillipines, El Salvador, Chile,
Australia, Kuwait, Cuba, the Gulf (for starters) was justified.

 [Of courseI now assume that the media has fully informed you of your
nation's story
with respect to this].
