Media outlets also benefit by having a reputation for (relatively) unbiased reporting. If all a station did was moon over the products of it's advertisers and vilify those of their competitors, how long would their audience hang around?
Remember also that if they hype one advertiser's goods too much, they risk alienating competitors, thus potentially reducing their own profits.

the media is supposed to function as the public's view into government. If the media is swooning over lets just say, Obama, real news cannot come out of any reports therefore the government can operate under the radar.
I'm glad that a few news sources are looking closer at some appointees especially because most of them have not filed a proper tax form in over 12 years.

Yeah a friend of mine told me about American news when he went over there, lots of scaremongering and bias apparently thank god we have the BBC here, always impartial and unbiased.
Sadly, this isnt always true with some reports being bias and not always getting a fair second opinion like they should.george144 said:
While the Beeb is a very good news source, I seem to remember hearing tell of them deciding to make absolutely every instance of knife crime a huge ZOMG story. Or maybe that was just the fish wrappers. I'm not sure.
That's where the 'knife crime epidemic' in Britain came from, kiddies: the press.

Speaking from the extreme left, admittedly, he pushes a right-wing agenda which is far from middle ground.BudZer said:
As to the option of getting unbiased news, the only real way to do that is to cross-reference EVERYTHING. The internet enables this a lot more readily than anything else, so it is possible to get multiple angles of the same event, then work out for yourself what happened.

@Op. Here is a brief Youtube vid you might enjoy on the subject of media bias.

EDIT: Changed one of the vids.
As long as News stations will be around, there will be bias.
As long as competition of any form to ANYONE exists, there will be bias.
As Long as there are people, there will be bias.

The media bias I hate is the shit Nancy Grace spews, always about little white girls getting kidnapped, and as a white person that offends me, there are hundreads of people that get captured every day and she just reports on the white ones, fucking *****. I also believe that her show makes it difficult to find an Unbiased Jury, or at least it would if it were more popular. If I was ever asked to go on that show, I would go on live and ***** her out utterly until I got removed. All her and her guests do is yell, go kill yourselves for being on such a despicable show.
I feel that, in America, there is a strong media bias. When I look for news, I want strictly fact. That's how I operate. Therefore, I go to BBC and usually get my news from there. Often times BBC will have stories that get steam-rolled by celebrity gossip or whichever political bias that agency shows.
