Does the media have no respect for politicians?

Jacob Zuma, president of the ANC in South Africa has been quoted saying, "The South African media have no respect for people." Should politicians be given the same rights as the man on the street.

Corruption in government is a huge problem in African countries as the fat cats drain the tax money, filling up their own pockets. Should citizens not be privy to their comings and goings and when they are wayward, should the media not be able to slate them and let them know how the people feel.
