John has a point, although he’s a tad too pessimistic, but just a tad. We may have to watch a whole parade of corruption scandals get swept under a very lumpy rug before anything substantive is done and/or the media react with sufficient alarm.
Unfortunately, corruption often doesn’t get dealt with until it has done very visible damage to society, particularly economic damage that is dramatically obvious to everyone. When that happens, it’s not the media that takes the lead.
