Way to be biased Media!Follow

#102gbaji, Posted: Oct 21 2008 at 6:44 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It seems pretty unlikely that the entire field of "journalism" from top to bottom is overwhelmingly (10x or more) liberal, but somehow magically the folks sitting at the front desks giving you the news are perfectly balanced. Give me a break! Can we please stop pretending that the news media is even remotely close to unbiased? And given that inherent bias, it's absurd to think that somehow those people giving those news reports aren't letting their own views sink into their reporting. Everything from word choice, story choice, ordering of stories, captions that go with the stories, AV backdrop, everything will tend to reflect their own political views.

Humans just can't be that unbiased. I know we'd like to pretend that they can, but they just plain can't. That's why the Fox approach is kinda refreshing. They know that everyone has a bias, so instead of trying to force everyone to pretend that they're not (which is what your mainstream media does), they make everyone label themselves and make sure there's a fair mix of opinions out there. It's a pretty reasonable approach...


Oh you are SO right. It's 100% acceptable to put a counter-point on your network and berate them as often as you do on damn near all your shows.
