Ancient_Cloud Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 This is just a simple poll about bias in the news media. I was wondering if you people think that news media is more toward the liberal side and is generaly biased. I would apperciate anything you have to say on the subject. More info the better. :horn:Thanks:horn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 All news is biased, one way or another. By the same token, you'll never see the full story, because they are usually trying to sensationalise everything so that people watch it. I just try to keep an objective view when watching the news, and try to watch different news channels to get differet angles. I stopped reading newspapers some time ago.

Reborn Outcast Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 The news always goes with the flow. For instance, if the war was going bad, they wouldn't hesitate to say it. Since its going good, they're praising Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One People One Nation (it's actually "kingdom" or "realm") One Leader etc. The text in German below is probably just a translation of the English part at the bottom, I think.

Pedantic Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hmmm...I happen to like Fox News, since it's the only network not infested with liberal rhetoric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And which channels would that be? CNN? Man, where I come from, CNN is regarded as right-wing. Fox news is just regarded as extreme right-wing.

Dagobahn Eagle Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Problem is, the US media's not even TRYING to be objective. Except from in cases that are just wrong, like reap, the media's not supposed to take a side. It'd also be great if a missionary thaught them the word "ethics". My $0.02.

The reason - what everything else is driven by.....money. The more people watch the more sponsors they get and obviously the more money the station makes! It's quite simple really.
