i go back and forth on thisMy point is that the media is biased, but not towards liberals, conservatives, white men or Muslims. It is biased towards sensationalism.
That’s partially our fault as a public, and partially the fault of our economic system. Capitalism does some things well, but encoraging media companies to provide accurate information is not one of them.
i mostly believe the media is us - -but it's also, obviously, a propaganda tool that corporation use
as Oye will scream from the canuck wilderness - this is why we need media literacy taught early and often
i would prefer for media news to be more like a good grocery store - -i'm not always going to get the fresh veggies, but i like having them there
but it seems most news now is like McDonald's - -not super great for us and probably more additives than content
