The Media Are Prostitutes

Here is an excerpt from Rabbi Yisrael Rosen:

While we are on the subject, note the impressive number of articles in the press (without any regard for specific events and predictions of the future) – in written and broadcast media, and on the internet – where a journalist interviews his own colleague. “Write about me, and I will write about you.” Just like people who “decorate each other” (see Shabbat 34a).
