Do you think the American press is in bed with the government?

Question

Or do you think they are independent and unbiased?

Answer 1

Yes, it's in bed with the government----the government of Europe and other socialist countries. But definitely NOT in bed with the US government.  

Answer 2

They are only in bed with the government when it is controlled by liberal democrats.  

The "main stream" press obviously has a disdain for the current president.

However, they have no problem showing their love for the Democrat nominee for president.

Answer 3

Independent studies have proven the bulk of the media is "liberal"

The media outlet closest to being fair and balanced is FOX.....but even they have a bias.....the good thing is you KNOW their bias beforehand

Answer 4

I think a lot of people "know" the American press is in bed with the government!

Answer 5

The are not in bed with anyone and they are independent but they are not unbiased.  They are a business and their business is to sell advertising, so their bias is what sells.

Answer 6

Yes, absolutely, of course.  Completely.

Answer 7

Its incest. "unbiased"!!!!!! LOL

Answer 8

While they are relatively independent, part of the problem for the media is that the government is often a main source of information for complicated stories. So objective information can be hard to find. It's not like the man on the street knows much about missile weights.

Answer 9

The US government is the Pimp in the relationship... they give what they want to give and thats all, they are in total control and can make the ap do what they want
