The U.S. media has come under intense scrutiny, with analysts, politicians, and even journalists themselves accusing it of bias and sensationalism of having failed.
Two developments bear noting.
Traditional media is no longer the only way to spread the word. Media companies are experiencing an extreme competition that comes with digital technologies.

Social media is distinct from traditional media in that it connects users to each other. This means that messages can spread far more easily and quickly.
The share of traditional Media is narrowing. Talk about selling Fox News, CNN, etc is increasing. The scandals and intense exposure of old sexual habits are surfacing and many are ousted.

Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, says he will not be seeking reelection in 2018. The move comes after a woman shared a series of private Facebook messages, in which Barton had asked her questions that were sexual in nature just a week after he apologized for sending a nude photo himself to another woman.
The woman, Kelly Canon told the Star-Telegram she had exchanged messages with Barton for several years, said that he "took it a step too far on rare occasions."
According to the Washington Post, the woman who received the nude photo from Barton had consensual sexual intercourse on two occasions and also recorded a phone conversation in which he threatened to call the Capitol Police if she revealed their correspondence.
Over time, she said, she became aware of and corresponded with multiple other women who engaged in relationships with Barton.

Supreme Court justices heard oral arguments in the most important digital privacy case in decades, involving whether it's constitutional for authorities to seize and search a person's cellphone records without warrant.
The case, Carpenter vs. USA, focuses on Timothy Carpenter, who was convicted of robbery after authorities used cell phone records to capture his location. Carpenter appealed the case a lower court's decision to affirm Carpenter's conviction and 116-year sentence.
The American Civil Liberties Union has signed on to the case to defend what they see as key Fourth Amendment rights.
ACLU attorney Nathan Freed Wessler, said the records give the government a "time machine" that "upends the balance of power" between people and the government that the founding fathers never intended.
"We carry our cellphones everywhere we go," and a record of days, weeks or months of our cellphone location records can chart out the most private parts of our lives — where we go to the doctor, where we sleep at night and who we sleep with.
