Smirk, I am not complaining I am wondering wether the modern day role of the media, is comparative with that of religions in our earlier culture as humans.
A comparative question, not a complaint.

Why are you complaining about the media? Regardless of whatever the media says about something, you're entirely free to believe whatever you want about whatever you want.

Quite possibly, would make sense of why the country is now full of cynics and people who think the country is doomed.
Let's face it, if the media's continual fascination with "celebrity" is the social standing of the country, it will only teach children that to cut corners rather than earning the respect and gaining the experience to do a job is the way forward. So if the mass media really is the social standing of the country, maybe we really are all doomed to become a 2nd World Country. (The UK)
Smirk: Surely it is an opinion. We are also not at liberty to accept Religion as being "The Way" ... but even as an agnostic I would accept that the social "policies" of the bible are at least better than a corrupt media with their own political agenda (ie. no matter how insanely nasty, it is sales of papers that count).

I think that it definitely has.
All of the 'news' that we get tends to be filtered to develop opinion. Religion used to be used to do the same thing.
People in power need to use some vehicle to maintain it. Religion is a powerful force of opinion delivery, but now so is the media.
