The media would report incident of human rights violation, regardless of who would benefit from exposing the violation.The problem is that no such entity can exist within our social order
I would suggest reading about media and the role it plays in delivering information to the public in general, as it may help you answer many other questions of the like.
To answer your question, the media play a vital role in reporting human rights violations, as they are typically the the source of information that most people will default to when seeking information or news. If the media had reported false or misleading information, and the viewers of the source are led to believe something that is otherwise false, there may be severe social repercussions, and general confusion to the public. Therefore, it is vital that the media report accurate and as-unbiased-as-possible information.
