Was watching my local ABC station this morning at the 5am hour, and they have some type of news show on(national), not sure what it's called, my online tv guide does not say. The segment was Inventions and Innovations and they were talking about bias in the media. Anyone know what it's called?
They started out by filming a guy in front of a Fox News building talking about media bias, then they ripped fox about being biased towards conservatives, and then mentioned how CNN has more of a democratic audience, but added that it's probably because all the conservatives have gone to Fox. The segment goes into interviewing people who feel it's bad to only watch one source of news because you only see one side.
The entire time though, the main reporter was speaking in front of the Fox News building. Subliminal advertising much?
Isn't a bit ironic to have a biased news source do a piece on the biased media?
Did they have a guy playing polka music??
Rupert Murdoch endorsed who???
That might have been it. Didn't notice polka music, it was on in the background, I turned to watch it when I heard them talking about media bias.
The media is far too biased to report on media bias fairly.
