I don't think this is about the media but rather the record companies. A few lines in particular make me think this.
"When convincing me
That you're on my team"
Doesn't seem like he would be talking about the media here. At first glance you could assume that he is talking about his band mates but when you look at these lines in conjunction with my next quote you get a sense of the bigger picture.
"Buy and trade men's souls"
Although its just business to the execs the music is the soul of the musicians that they sign and release.
"Rich and growing sicker
Sell the dead ones quicker"
They get rich from the music obviously but more important is the second line. If the artist dies at the height of popularity aka Kurt Cobain you will sell albums at an even faster rate.
