When the leader of a nation airs a very public grievance on the alleged bias and recklessness of media, that grievance usually generates a round of media bloviation. Not because media is incapable of bias but because media people, from the most discerning to the really dumb, have strong opinions about what they do for a living. A critique from the powers-that-be is one thing that the media practitioners would not let pass without a torrent of reactions.

There is no such thing as a timid media in every nook and cranny of the democratic world.
