The old media bias thread. Haven't we done this one to death?
There is no such thing as objective reporting. Fox has made a name for themselves for being conservative and appealing to a conservative audience. And strangely enough they've taken it to the bank. They're still making a killing in the ratings war. If Fox news or any other station is your sole source of news, then you will seriously limit your exposure to current events. This isn't remotely surprising, or in my opinion dangerous. Unbiased media has been finally exposed for being the myth that it always has been. I think this is a good thing. As people who are well-informed, which most of TFP politics are, we know better than to buy into any media outlet's objectivity. This is why most of us are better informed, we filter the news through as many locations as we can, and attempt to find a gem of truth in the pile of bullshit. Everyone's got an agenda. Everyone wraps the facts around their own experiences and beliefs in order to find understanding, reporters are no different. Its just the way our brains work.
The biggest problem with "calling out" different media outlets on their bias, is that depending on where you stand on the political spectrum, you will find a different bias. Some people will say CNN is not left enough, some will say it is center, some will say it is ultra left. Some will say Fox isn't right enough, etc. This is just more evidence as to how we interpret "the facts" around our own preconceived ideas.
