I subscribe to the Washington Post. That qualifies as "western media." They have done numerous in depth and long term investigative stories on topics such as police shootings to the complexity and size of the U.S. intelligence system. I never said one shouldn't scrutinize media sources. I said a blanket statement such as "the corrupt western media" is just plain dumb.
