My hate for Media Commentary misplaced?

As i am listening to the G4 and the 1UpYours crowd talking about the E3 Live Conferences, i got slightly annoyed. They sound either like bubble heads or jaded about what they have seen. It made me wonder whether the media is still a valid form of information distribution.

I actually started to compare the media culture to an infection/ parasite that feeds of an Information lifeform, and that their excrement is bits and pieces of the said lifeform with added chunks of commentary/ static noise. You can think of this as Information Degradation. You have to listen between the static for the good bits information.

The question is, is there any way to avoid this degradation? The addition of Static Noise?
