Have you noticed that a lot of news networks are quite bias against conservatives and Christians? Maybe the news wil take it lightly if there was a bobming by those evil islamic terrorists at some church, but they take it more seriosly if another relgion was attacked. The bias owner of BBC news even admitted that the news took attacks on Christians very lightly compared with other religions! Are you outraged?! I am very mad about the media bias. And news companies like pbs news even say that they listen to both sides, have debates evenly, but they are acrually politically bias towards the right wing! This outrageous behavior must stop.

Some media stations do have a bias but most do not hopefully. They should really make that bias illegal.

true but i doubt its possible. its like making subjectivity illegal. you cant get inside someone who doesnt know the difference between fact/opinion/belief and decide what he is allowed to say.

I've done some journalism intern-stuff, and I can tell you that objectivity is only possible for news reports that are just reporting something; there isn't anything much biased you can write about a car accident.

Opinion pieces of course, are opinions, and will be biased. So a bias is always normal, but should not be twisted in a way that it clouds actual happenings.

Media bias has destroyed the credibility of once prominent broadcasters. Example? Fox News.

And I dislike the Right wing. Why do they even get the "Right" side?


You have to blame the French revolutionaries for choosing their sitting arrangements around their King for that one.


As for name calling; both sides do it. Deal with it.

There are people on both sides insulting others equally aggressively, treating them equally badly, though maybe in different ways. Taking out a few examples is hardly a good argument. Nor is it representative for a whole party.

Famed as in famous? I'd say infamous instead. This guy is the biggest idiot in the US. He brainwashes innocent kids with his stupid and narrow views of the World.

It can go both ways; famous for most, but famed for more extreme right wingers.
