It's both. The news isn't pushing a particular agenda, they'll take anything that pushes people's buttons and grabs their eyeballs, whether it's this or another missing white girl.


The news most definitely pushes their funding partner's agenda. Also, they mostly get's their material from well funded sources (with agenda) instead of themselves nowadays.


I'd call it "avoids reporting stories that hurt their funding partner" more than "pushing the agenda" personally. Very subjective opinion, though.
