Is it naive to think there is a "liberal" bias in the media?

Question

I'm liberal, h**l, I'm an avowed communist. If I had it my way, the "media's" free speech would be considered "commercial" (because they make money off it and there is a lower level of scrutiny for commercial speech).

That being said, I don't think the media is aligned to any one candidate, but I do think they run with the story that well make them the most money. If it bleeds, it leads...

America, how much longer will we allow this nonsense?

Answer 1

Have you not discovered the link of Union media and Union Hollywood and Union Print media to a Union candidate (Democrat).

Obama is a "Unionizer". Hollywood and the media have collaborated to be his public relations agent. We are now living in a world of corrupt media and government that is perpetuating a groupthink.

(mold the young and they are yours) - Union Bands, singers, teachers, Union writers (textbooks, newspapers, magazines) a kid today is spoonfed from the time the start kindergarten,

Answer 3

I have to agree with you. The media goes with one story and make a a load of lies to the people. And the people are so hungry for the lies that they will believe anything the media says. Its basically the government is being ran by about 10 people and the common people won't open their eyes to see it.

WAKE UP PEOPLE CAN"T YOU SEE THE SIGNS thats what needs to happen!

America is a capitalistic society if you don't like it theres a island down south with a nice dictator.

Answer 5

There are at least two kinds of media bias in the U.S. One is a political bias.  The media (with exceptions, i.e., talk radio and Fox) is biased to the left, which reflects that people attracted to the media as a profession tend to be more left of center politically.  A second, and more important, source of bias is oriented toward the kind of content that receives coverage.  Stories with dramatic film, shocking facts, and stories about conflict and negative facts receive more coverage because people pay attention.  Whatever they may think about themselves, the media in this country exist to sell advertising--cars, beer, tampons, shampoo, etc., ad nauseum, and they will report what will keep people tuned in.  

All that said, state-controlled media do not tend to do a better job, and state-controlled media present the grave danger of government propaganda being presented as news.  What we've got isn't perfect, but we have more alternatives than societies with one source of information.  

The thing to oppose is not private ownership of media, but government deregulation of media that allows concentration of media ownership in fewer hands.  The more sources of news and the more competition, the better.  Bigger media conglomerates, whether corporate or governmental, are bad for the truth.
