How to detect Media Bias in the News!
In the past unbiased Media has had tremendous power in setting cultural guidelines and in shaping political discourse. That same media has become extremely biased and no longer can be trusted to give the American people fair and balanced reporting as it once did.As viewers become more news savvy it is essential that the news media, along with other institutions, are challenged to be fair and accurate. The first step in challenging biased news coverage is documenting bias. As the Internet grows it becomes harder for the TV media to cover up the truth because of their own political believes than ever before.Here are some questions to ask yourself about newspaper, TV and radio news. Is there a lack of diversity? Demand that the media you consume give both sides of the story. Call or write media outlets every time you continually hear one-sided biased opinions from the same reporter or news anchor.From whose point of view is the news reported? Political coverage often focuses on how issues affect politicians or corporate executives rather than those directly affected by the issue. Demand that those affected by the issue have a voice in coverage. Are there double standards? Do media hold some people to one standard while using a different standard for other groups? If so expose the double standard by coming up with a parallel example or citing similar stories that were covered differently. Do stereotypes skew coverage? Does coverage of politics always favor one party over the other. Educate journalists about misconceptions involved in favoritism, and about how unbalanced reporting is unfair to the viewers. What are the unchallenged assumptions? Often the most important message of a story is not explicitly stated. For instance, in coverage of passing legislative bills by the House and Senate the true story of who wrote the bill, who voted for the bill and the impact this bill will have on the American people rarely covered unbaisedly.Advise everyone you know not to watch the news on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC. They are currently the media puppets of the New Socialist Democratic Party.
