'The media is about headlines'

[Sneeky]

True, but the we also have an orginisation in control of this country that has more dirty laundry than the mob.
The same orginisation is also struggling to come to grips with the modern world and the speed at which the media, and the internet, distribute the news.

Chikane, who is the government's longest serving director-general, said the media had failed to convey the enormity of the task faced by the democratic government when it came into power in 1994.

Last time I checked the ANC were the ones making the promises they could not keep to get support, not the media.

Now we are a ship,

It had not reported on the enormous effort needed to turn the "apartheid ship" around, as well as the successes in creating democratic institutions

like the SABC I suppose, rofl.
