As Audre Lorde said, "For the master's tool will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change", the same thing applies to the U.S news media. They are liars in the service of liars, warmongers and war profiteers.
Like you said, it is, indeed, an institution that plays in the power superstructure of American Empire, and thinking otherwise would be a complete waste of time.
The question I believe we are left with is, "Should we continue hoping that such institutions will reform or should we start building our own?"
