If you thought the media was biased for Obama during the election cycle you were right. And now they're getting their payback moving into the administration. Thirteen journalists have been rewarded so far. Read about it here. The thirteenth is listed in a "related story" underneath the article.
Journalists used to be unbiased and reported both sides of news stories. Now days most think their job is advocating for their own political agenda. Personally I often read the London papers because you get less biased news about the states from British reporters than from the crew at the New York Times and ABC. Give it a try. You may even find youself getting the conservative side of a story.
For a less jaundiced view you may want to check Mediamatters.org.
ReplyDeleteAgree with checking on foreign press though.
We don't have news, we have a ratings race and sucking up to gain access and reporting things in such a way that will please the corporate bosses unless it makes lots of money.
