Jim Naurekas is editior of the magazine "extra", which stands for fairness and accuracy in reporting, and part of an (US) american based media watch group. In connection with the media-coverage of the uprising in Egypt, he was asked by Al Jazeera, what role the media plays in the US. His answer from New York, time-index 06:30:

"Well, I think, in any country, in any society, the media are an important institution for maintaining the stability of the people, who are in power. And the US is no exception to that. We have a media, that is very commercialized, very corporate. There is only a very marginal public sector in US-Media and so you have in the US a media, which is closely allied with the corporate establishment, which in turn has in very close tie to government."
