I think the CIA is the organization that has the biggest influence over the media. This is a good background of how the news business got infiltrated by it.

Operation Mockingbird was a large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that began in the early 1950s and attempted to manipulate news media for propaganda purposes. It funded student and cultural organizations and magazines as front organizations.
