As I was looking through Foxnews.com I read over an article titled, " White House Escalates War at Fox News" that caught my attention. You can find the article here, http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/18/white-house-escalates-war-fox-news-1925819282/?test=latestnews. The article was about the white house accusing Fox news of focusing on just one point of view in there articles and called them out on not being a real news network.
This article of course was bios towards the fox news side, since they wrote it. I don't think they left out any valuable information on this article. I personally believe that every news network is bias towards a point of view and push that point of view on there articles because when your writing or talking about news your opinion comes out some how. Its simply unavoidable. As long as there not messing up the facts and making up stuff in there news articles, I would still consider them a real news network. That's why when you read over or hear current issues on news networks or wherever, you have to check more than one source because an article or news story is always gonna be a little bias towards one side. I found this article important because it comes to show how the media is bias just like we are towards one side of an issue.Its unavoidable for there opinion to come out on there articles and affect our view point on that same issue. So its important to read several articles and always get different point of views on an issue or event so we can form our own ideas.

I agree, most news is biased today. All of them claim to be the truth and to be fair but honestly, its so twisted no one really knows whats true anymore. Although i would have to say i watch Fox News more than any other network simply because they remain more neutral on some issues than others giving viewers the option to decide for themselves instead of only promoting one point of view.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your analysis; all major news media outlets are biased. MSNBC is more liberal in its coverage and Fox News is more conservative. Although I worry that Obama singled out one network, I have to agree with him that Fox News has drifted away from being a news outlet and is now more of a news entertainment network focusing on commentary (Glenn Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc).
