Right. Only now are they actually covering something close to 'real' news about these places and that's mainly because everyone else is. Usually the news is ignoring or glossing over the problems in those countries. I just saw a puff piece about Syria that said nothing about their despotic government. It was all hearts and flowers. Watch that change if their is actually an uprising there (highly doubtful).
As for who owns the media outlets, I think we're looking in two different locations. I'm thinking mostly print/net media. Newspapers are notoriously liberal. I think you're looking at digital media (TV/Radio), which may well have conservative owners. And don't forget that ownership of something does not necessarily equal control. A conservative owner of a news program may have a liberal producer or editor who's bias is injected over that of the owners. Not unknown at all.
