As an example, take 9/11... Did the 9/11 Commission put the issue to rest? No! It's fraught with unexplained phenomena, disallowed testimony, etc... The media put it to rest. They said it was all figured out, so the public decided it was all figured out. Now, I don't know what the truth of 9/11 is, but it has never been investigated and explained completely to my satisfaction, and I believe a truly free media would have noticed and reported that as such...
