swine media

A general reference to all members of the media (press, radio, TV, Internet) who play on public emotions to turn a minor event into a global crisis... typically with minimal, if any, actual facts or data
John Stewart did a great spoof on the swine media last night on the Daily Show. After showing some clips as examples, he mentioned that he's secretly working on a cure for "raccoon flu" in his basement lab. He says there's more money in developing cures for diseases before they exist! Brilliant!

The swine media will probably take that seriously, and run with it.

Media Truth

The truth that is greatly exaggerated and or not completely true aimed at a large audience for a purpose of either brainwashing, misinforming, or just to create chaos.
On social media, Jennifer gives everyone the media truth about her life. None of these things are actually real, they are just made up to receive followers and or likes and attention for a specific purpose to misinform viewers or an audience, which can create chaos among what is real and not. This can act as a distraction as to what is really happening.

Drive-By Media

(uncountable) (US, idiomatic) Mass Media that provides broad or misleading statements in quick succession without context or explanation. Never returning to "Original" stated story /report with unbiased factual information for follow up.
You know what a Drive-By shooting is.

CALLER: Sure.

RUSH: You got a bunch of renegades in a car and they drive into a crowd and they start spraying bullets around and they head on down the highway and make a total mess of things. They ruin some people. They kill some people in the case of Drive-By shootings. Then they head on down the highway and they do it again. Meanwhile, other people have to clean up the mess. The Drive-By Media is the same way. They come in with their cameras and their microphones and their news reporting, and they create an absolute mess. They scare the hell out of people. They literally cause carnage. Their actions sometimes are destructive and ruinous to individuals. They kill the reputations of people, or try to. And then they get in the convertible, they head on down the highway and they find the next group of people to do the same thing to while there are those of us who have to go in and clean up the mess.
