People should check out the NY Times analysis of Al Jazeera television, as they admit it copies the objectivity norms of Western television by interviewing everyone for "balance" while using coded labels and selective graphic images to slant the news behind that objective facade. You would swear that the writer had read Chomsky before doing his analysis :)
