Media Bias on News Shows

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


The writer of this paper argues that news shows such as 20/20 and Dateline cannot be objective because they must fit an idea
or emotion into the story to make viewers want to watch it. From the paper: "In recent years it has become a national pastime to downgrade and insult the profession of journalism and those who work in the field. If we don't like the election results we blame the media, if a serial killer kills again the media caused it and let's remember they made the sun come up in the morning too. Sarcasm aside, the media is often accused of being biased in its delivery of the current events in the world."
