That popped up today on MSNBC. 3 hours ago, Mekong said: Basically News Agencies should be impartial and Newspapers print lies. I'd go further and say, all News should be impartial. After all, they are supposed to be reporting what happened. If they wanna opine, label that bit as opinion. Mind you, then you'd need functionally literate readers.

But there is, either bias to appease the owners and/ advertisers, or the demography of the readership be it the Bowler hat wearing Times and Telegraph readers to the Bobble Hat wearing Sun and Mirror readers. There is “Mainstream Bias” where by every media outlet is reporting the same thing, Sensationalism which favours the exceptional over the mundane, and so on. My favourite is “Missing White Woman Syndrome” where by a young middle class white female is deemed more News worthy than a working class and/or black male.

My Penis is hungry Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 It's a business not a charity or public service. And it's been that way since the beginning Only very few outlets have luxury of being able to be independent but even then they face scrutiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
