Popular market. He gets good ratings. So, technically, democracy, except you vote with your eyeballs.
>Accountable to who? Reports to who?
Fox, abc, Reuters, etc. As well as us. I didn't say we have NO responsibility, after all, just that we sent someone in our place so we don't all have to drop everything and fly to DC for every press conference.

Why doesn't Jim just become an investment banker, then? His motivation lie beyond more than money and frankly I'm surprised I have to reiterate that to people on the internet so often. Are you completely money motivated?
Really the system isn't that hard to understand, it's a system of checks and balances, with the agencies keeping each other honest. A cabal is somewhat impossible due to the existence of say Fox news or even international outlets with very different motivations.
