Bias in media
We spoke about bias in journalism recently in class. It got me thinking about bias in major media networks today. When I say bias i don't mean cut and dry stuff like conspiracies versus reality or police versus criminals. I mean organizations that cater to a small subset of the American people, and will do whatever it takes to keep them happy. Bias in journalism has become a problem in part because greed has eclipsed practicality of the news for these stations. Only by holding the public first can you avoid bias towards one group over another unfairly. Several prominent stations now report whatever will keep their audience happy as opposed to helpful or even realistic information to earn more money.
