User generated content helps media to be biased without accountability

We all know most media portals and TV channels are biased. Traditionally, they brought speakers from their group to project biased opinions, while having a bunch of their employees doing the so-called moderator job.

With user generated content like Youtube and I-Report by CNN, they can safely just show popular videos containing false or biased content without any accountability whatsoever. So, CNN can have a user generated video titled "Republicans' link with Saudi Arabia unearthed" in their home page and spread their liberal bias without owning up for the accountability..

Eventually, People will learn to filter this content when they read the news.
