Press considered the 4th pillar of democracy
Explanation:

Its key duty is to inform people about impartial news without any censorship/tampering, whether in print or TV / radio. People always trust actual and honest news.
- By their elected officials, democracy is perceived to be a law for the people. The freedom of speech and the space given for dissent by various parts of society is one of the advantages of a democratic system. Participation on the part of the people is essential for the political system to work to its maximum capacity, which successively involves the dissemination of accurate knowledge to the masses on various public issues.

In order to help a particular party and influence public opinion, particular issues are manipulated and presented by the media in a certain manner.
