The media is too ultra liberal to give an unbiased account of anything.

More importantly, the newspapers and TV channels are controlled by ppl who stand to profit from one party or another, and so can and will prevent certain things from being reported. As long as the media control is split fairly between the parties that isn't such a bad thing, but media is becoming more and more monopolised.

That is one of the good things about the UK (although I'm sure we have at least as much corruption in our political system as anyone else) - we have the BBC. It's owned by the people and (in theory at least) completely unbiased. Of course it's just a matter of time before some government or other flogs it off to Rupert Murdoch to be rebranded, strip mined and obliterated like every other public service we ever used to have.
