Bias in the Media The following study is to show how the media impacts modern day life and affects the choices and decisions we make politically or socially With this research I hope to provide the reader with information to show and prove how the media can be biased and unfair in their reportings With this I will add reason and rationale to both sides of the subject to give an unbiased report I will be researching and providing information for the question Is the media reporting both sides of a story equally in an unbiased way The media has been in the spotlight for controversy for hundreds of years The media has a bad wrap for biased created and untrue news going back to tabloids and papers in the 1700 s Even then it was a source of gossip and biased reporting from certain causes or political candidates The average person who could be swayed by any piece of reporting had no clue what the bias was yet and that it was affecting their opinions The main problem of this is that today people such as Bernard Goldberg Author of Bias can expose news stations and reporters by giving the people first hand experience into what the bias is actually like but few are open minded about Goldberg s argument 2 But because the average person and those who work in news rooms are so unable to see the bias it creates a problem in slanted news that nobody wants to address The problem addressed above states that it creates a problem in slanted news that nobody wants to address
