Bogey-Man is a legendary ghost-like monster. The Bogey-Man has no specific appearance and conceptions of the monster can vary drastically even from household to household within the same community; in many cases, he simply has no set appearance in the mind of a child, but is just an amorphous embodiment of terror. Bogey-Man can be used metaphorically to denote a person or thing of which someone has an irrational fear. Parents often say that if their child is naughty, the Boggey-Man will get them, in an effort to make them behave.WIKI
In today's world we seem to demand that every situation has a Bogey-Man someplace in the plot line. Preferable a Bogey-Man with deep pockets.
Government Bogey-Men are a well known phenomenon and a evil we all understand and except. Ultimate Bogey-Man is the unnamed, undefined, contumacious, nascent, anonymous (typically refers to a person, and often means that the personal identity, or personally identifiable information of that person is not known) opinionated news media. I would bet a dollar to a donut the first press example that you thought of was Fox News. Spin in the reporting of news has become an art that incorporates news and editorial content into one style.
Although we need an independent free press, that being said, does not say we need a press that spins each story to an editorial standard that satisfies the demands of an ultra conservative owner (notice I said owner and not owners). Although Keith Rupert Murdoch, AC, KSG American media czar and the founder, chairman and chief executive officer of News Corporation (News Corp.) owns a number of media outlets and dictates the public voice of conservatives and ultra conservatives both here an abroad. His influence is unprecedented in today's media savvy world. His empire has the ability or will have to influence the daily lives of most Americans. He is known simply as the World Media Czar.
His companies (News Corp) control or at least influence what you see and hear daily. In his editorial style there is only good guys and bad guys, no in-between, Bogey man vs saviour.
When asked about President Obama ("lets see if he can walk the walk"). Much of the derision we see in our people and daily lives are directly caused by Mr Murdoch and his minions.
It will be interesting to see coming generations look at these times and ask why would the populace allow any one individual to have that much power and influence and not care.

If we don't stop fearing and start questing to find the answers for are selves then the Bogey man will be out of the closet and the free world we live in will go by the way, just like the buffalo.
