Media

With many of the big media stations these days there is a
lot of bias to be found. It is usually bias towards whatever corporations or
advertisements help keep the media stations going. Corporate influence in the
media is a problem because these corporations give money through advertising to
help pay for much of the content in cable news stations. Because of that, the
news stations try to find stories that won’t affect those corporations, because
there could be fear they would pull money and advertising out of the stations.
Also, news stations owned by major companies will stay away from stories that
have a negative view of those companies. There is also a major political bias
in some news stations, partially Fox News. It creates shows that either hide
their bias and present it as news, or put out shows that don’t have bias at
all, and just use political talking points to fill the time. All of this is a
problem, because whether the bias is easy to spot or not, the news is being
bought and sold by major corporations with a certain agenda that might go
against reality or the evidence of the actual news stories.
