Politico-media complex

The politico-media complex is a term used to describe the relationship between politicians and the media. It happens when politicians use the media to get their message out, while the media use the politicians to get stories to tell their viewers or readers. This means that both sides rely on each other and work together to achieve their goals. It also means that sometimes the media might not report all of the facts about a situation, because they don't want to lose access to the politicians that provide them with stories.
