Media Bias

There is no media without bias. Not because the people running the news don't want to be neutral, but because they can't help leaning one way or the other. It's very important to know who is operating the media source from which you gather your information and what their political party is. Most likely, the more democrats controlling the game, the more liberal the information and bias will be, and the more republicans, the more conservative the information will be.

For example, Fox news is a more republican based business as opposed to ABC or NBC. During elections the stations that hound on the republicans would clearly be ABC and NBC. They would be strict, serious, and in depth with the republicans while they would converse with the democrats in a more friendly way, creating a better image on the democratic side, and thus creating bias. Fox is in the same situation; they would hound the democrats, but let the republicans off easy. There goal is to make it appear as if they are an un-bias company.

Point being, there is no media that is not bias. To find proper information, compare similar stories and decide what is fact. If there's a story that claims 2 people died in a car crash, another that claims 10, and one more that claims 5, you know that there were people killed, just not how many. If you read a story that claims it was horrible that a certain president was impeached and another about how it was the best thing that's every happened to this country, you know what you are reading isn't completely fact. Learn to separate the facts from the opinions, beware of adjectives, and don't be afraid to research and confirm your sources.
