The Media-intelligence complex is an informal alliance between the nation's intelligence community and the mainstream media which seen together is a vested interest influencing public opinion and policy. A driving factor behind this relationship between the government and corporate media is that both sides benefit.
The term has come to be used in reference to the system behind the intelligence community of the United States, where it is most prevalent. Its origin is borrowed from a term in the farewell address of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, warning of the dangers of the military-industrial complex. Unlike the military, there is no tradition of outside civilian control of the Intelligence Community, which has exploded in size and influence since Eisenhower's day.
