I have yet to see any specific examples in this thread for left or right media bias.

lol... Come on...

There comes a point where we need to decide if our idiocy is willful or inherent. Are we making a choice, or just doing our best?

Fox news has lost much of its appeal to me in this past year but the truth is, as I grow older, news is losing alot of its appeal to me.

Am I the only one who wishes that the American media would simply bite the bullet and wear their bias on their sleeves like the papers do in Europe? For instance, no one in the UK argues that the Guardian isn't the Labour rag, while the Torrygraph, errr... Telegraph is demonstrably the Conservative paper. The same is true of papers across Europe (although finding right-wing media in some countries is a tad tricky).

What would be wrong, if CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, PBS, the NYT and the LAT simply came out and said Yup, we are the media arm of the American Leftwing, and the Washington Times, the WSJ, and Foxnews did the same on the Right? Oh, I forgot, it might hurt sales... Sigh. Well at least the Grey Lady came out of the closet and the LA Times has come darn close.  

BTW - Just out of interest Nash, do you graphics work for a living? I recall Music but perhaps I dreamed that to quote Harrison Ford...

Yeah, Seagoon. Although I do less and less hands-on stuff...

Mostly I just come up with goofy ideas, then yell at the people who bring me the work when it doesn't look like what I think it should look like. :)

Unbiased media is a relatively new thing. I wish I could remember the turning point.... but I can't. Sometime between 1920 and 1940. Before, papers were unapologetically biased.... and it was accepted. Something happened, and shreck me if I can remember what it was... but a whole code of ethics developed and the idea of unbiased journalism became ingrained.

It's unraveling now. I was jittery watching it happen... but I'm at ease with it now. No one else seems to give a shreck.



Thinking about it.... it started in the 50's. During the cold war. It was a matter of out-freedoming Russia's press. Un-biased thruth, and flaunting that.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

The subject of ethics is an old sore for ASNE (American Society of Newspaper Editors). Only five years into the Society's existence, the president put the Sage of Emporia, the same William Allen White, in charge of a committee to come up with ethical standards. White reported to the 1927 convention:

After a year's study, the committee has no report because it has no idea of what the ethics of this business is. Old Pontius Pilate had a good idea when he asked, "What is the truth?" Then he washed his hands of the whole thing. We don't promise to wash our hands, we simply want further instructions. It is a large order.

 


;)  The KU School of Journalism is named for White.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Please take note that I said "in this thread" I do agree that there is bias but complaining about it like a bunch of old woman isn't exactly fun now is it?
