When the word "media" is mentioned and the various perceptions of them are noted, oftentimes we as readers and listeners have a tendency to lump them all together, the plural becomes singular.

Today's media are not all lacking in responsibility. What we do find though [espically in the world of sports] is a highly opinionated group, reporting, not based on facts but strictly on their opinions. Opinion reporting always has to be taken with a grain of salt. One could be safe in characterizing much of it as discussion as opposed to the actual reporting of facts as they occur.

For people like myself, first ordained in the world of sports reporting prior to the Huntley - Brinkley years where there was 25 min on news and 5 min of sports on a daily basis, what goes on in that same world today could easily be described as shock and awe.
