No difference. Blaming a "thing" besides what's happening at home isn't going to take society any closer to understanding or fixing the problem.

media isn't a *thing* in the sense you are using the term. it is not an inanimate object. it is corporation comprised of people. in fact, it is legally a person. a gun is not legally a person like a corp is.
and news CORPs are legally bound by operating in the best interest of its shareholders, i.e., the bottomline. how does a news corp increase that year after year and against competition? increase viewership by sensationalizing.
