New allows you inform yourself on things relevant to you lifestyle and interests. It is one of the best ways for us to learn about the world around us, and we use that to make a personal world view. The problem with this is many commercial or political pieces are told to you as if they are unbiased. I was on a major networks main site (not to be named, and one of the pieces I found was about a law about cars. I own a car, and was interested. Three paragraphs down I came to the realization it was just a massive sales pitch for an insurance site! Looked like news, was on a trusted news site, but it was in no way news. Ads I understand are needed to pay for this free to me news, but dressing up a hooker and calling her your date, although factual (she came there with you, is a tad disingenuous.

- CrashCourse - I was kind of hoping that you would have been able to do this in a non-paartizan way, but alas I suppose that is too much for you to do! But I must admit you did a very good job at sliding in your bias to make it almost undetectable by most that are uneducated or do not understand linguistics and how propaganda works.
just my ten cents - no doubt I get a thousand bots to hate on this for questioning your preeminent status. ah irony.

I think many people forget that it's possible to be biased towards fairness, and the media shouldn't necessarily give equal weight to both sides of the aisle on every issue. It the republican party said tomorrow that it believed the earth was flat, the headline should be -Crazy republicans don't believe the Earth is round-, rather than -Republicans and Democrats can't agree on shape of the Earth-

Great topic. However, Id like to see a focus on what is the role that media plays in politics and government. What was the governments original role in media and how has that evolved over the decades? We need to talk about partisan selective exposure and how your media outlets are creating confirmation bias.

Just remember, journalists are professionals, and with the exception of opinion writers and editorialists, who write away from the newsroom, journalists do everything they can to get their stories right, and work hard to take their bias out of it.

It may be a bias from my upbringing but I'm surprised that religious interests are considered under-represented. Do you mean non-Christian religious interests? Clarification and possibly examples of what you mean could be useful.

Yet the New York Times and The Washington Post have extremely opinionated and biased articles which are now driving a lot of the public perception because they don't read into it anymore than a one sided article. It's a shame.

I used to think Fox was full of it, but as I grew older and did my research stay away from CNN and MSNBC. Or actually, watch it yourselves, and fact check.
