Развращать массовую информация
On rare occassions, I've seen the word prostituting used in this case. Do you guys agree with it? In most of my dictionaries, this meaning is not included nor can I find it online.

corrupting mass media
It is hard to say without context
Despite the worst fears of the threatened elites, not all "average" people were defenselessly influenced by the corrupting mass media. People selected, consumed, and interpreted media content, often in personally important and interesting ways. The media did have effects, but these were beneficial as well as problematic. Since mass society theory could not explain this variety of media use and effects, it eventually collapsed under its own weight.

Spoiled mass media
Так вроде и смысл передаёться и звучит нормально, т.е. более полит. корректно чем prostituted.

media whores
Media whores is a term used in the early 60's during campaigns and refered to publishers and editors of newspapers that would not cover a candidate without an ad buy.
There are over 200 presidential candidates in 2008 yet you only hear of 17 and that is the results of the entire media being media whores.

Corrupt mass media
Literal translation is "corrupt mass information," but is more commonly expressed in English as "corrupt mass media."
Note from asker:
| I agree with you and I have been looking at this term. Yet, in the sentence I am looking at, there is just too much repetition going on: Prostituting mass media on a global scale, pharmaceutical companies, corrupted state and world organizations, and a whole army of corrupt physicians, are all together directed against you. |

Russian term (edited):
entire posted sentence (too big too fit)
A corrupt global mass media (see explanation below)
in response to you posting the whole sentence I looked for a solution to avoid repitition.
A corrupt global mass media, crooked pharmaceutical companies, tainted state and international organizations and an entire army of unscrupulous physicians are stacked against you.
