Chapter 7


I think that news media about politics are very objective and biased against opposing candidates. They will tell you what you want to hear rather than the truthful information, but the public needs to know the right information instead of someone’s biased comments. Fox and MSNBC seem to be more biased and CNN is more objective.

Public talk radio is largely dominated by conservatives because they are more popular. No liberal shows are even close to the popularity of the top-rated conservative programs. Rush Limbaugh is the best known conservative commentators. Liberals tried to use talk radio but failed.

Yes, media objectivity is important. The media has great power in a democracy. Most Americans get their news from media rather than from other people or sources. Most journalist use objective reporting which is more of a descriptive writing. It provides the public with a view from the journalist’s mind.
