This seems pretty inevitable, since it should really be journalism in particular that exposes and names such wrongdoings.

In a democracy, it theoretically has an important corrective function, but independent investigative journalism is already virtually non-existent (too expensive), and so in practice it is becoming increasingly unlikely that abuses will be remedied and those responsible prosecuted.

This leads to a situation that is already reality in the US, where serious journalism has already been largely replaced by mindless entertainment or even propaganda - I also think it's only going to get worse.
