Personal Response
As we are currently studying the relationship between media and government, I thought it would be appropriate to make my post on this topic. I was especially interested in the topic of bias in media reporting. I think it is a big problem that most television news is politically biased, and predominately towards the left. CNBC is always in the tank for the democrats, and ABC news is not far off. Then there is FOX news, which, despite its attempts to be centrist, continues to lean slightly conservative. We need a news outlet in this country that delivers straight facts and lets us citizens decide what to make of them instead of feeding us the network's own agendas.

I think that it might be interesting to see what a non-biased news station looks like, but overall I think people prefer to watch news sources that lean towards their political views.
ReplyDeleteFor example, my parents are really conservative and they started getting so annoyed with the Washington Post because its views were different, so they switched to a different newspaper. People want to get their information from a source they agree with so they don't really care about being fully informed or unbiased.
