I won't bother. You said media bias. I say Fox News. Enough said. Never before have we had a network as an arm of a political party.
Left wing media bias my ***. Where's the "left-wing" talk radio. THAT medium is dominated by (far) right-wing (corporate-owned!) by a margin of at least 10-15 to one! It's been that way for (basically) ever. I worked in media! I've watched the media for years........ it has NEVER been dominated by the left. Neither have many college campuses. BUT, in the last twenty years I've SEEN right-wing media dominate our national political discourse. Intentionally spin to one side, in the case of the Murdochs! IF there is any media bias it is most definitely RIGHT wing.
Take it from somebody who's watched far longer! A year extra longer as of yesterday!
I don't listen to talk radio:
CNN
MSNBC
ABC
CBS
All left wing
That's entirely subjective. The fact that you believe that says more about you than it does those networks.
I'll give you MSNBC. I do believe they attempt to view the issues thru an opposing prism to Fox.
CNN attempts neutrality albeit certain anchors allow their viewpoints to permeate their broadcasts. I can't stand Wolf Switzer, for example.
CBS is definitely NOT left wing within the news dept. Can't say what the CEO and board are?
ABC and NBC attempt impartiality and follow the journalistic credo taught at modern Journalism colleges such as the Walter Cronkite school of Journalism in Tempe (ASU).
Both networks succeed and fail at that attempt on a daily basis.
But at least they try! Even pretend.
That's more than Fox and the biased sources on the right,,,,,,,,, they don't even try.
They're like a newspaper from 1870 or something......... completely trying to spin and shape the news to fit their own narrative.
It's the Tombstone Epitaph all over again!
