Do you believe the Media has an agenda along party lines in America ie. Fox News?

One fairly conservative network(Fox) amid all the other liberal networks. Give it a rest.

Fox news only appears right wing when compared with left wing organizations like CNN, Reuters, the AP.  Taken by itself, Fox is an impartial news source.

I agree with you completely, I think anyone who watched news other than fox would be ostracized in the military, it has alway's been republican (pro-war)..

Absolutely.  Many of the American Sheeple pay no attention to what happens behind the scenes and certainly are enchanted by images.\nThe closet to a possible fascist leader might have been Huey Long.\nWhat we have now is a hidden oligarchy, whose front man is a Chimp. \nThey are most certainly proto fascists.  It could happen. The media is controlled and most Americans can't see past their own noses.

No, the belief systems are too different. New parties might emerge, but I don't think we will have a unified America when it comes to political beliefs.

Yes, most definitely!!!  They also give everything their liberal slant so they can push their views.  So warning, don't believe everything you hear.  And if possible, research it yourself.

I've been trying to figure this out for a long time now.  All I can say is the RIGHT WING media bias keeps on telling lies about the so called left wing bias over and over, figuring if they say it long enough people will believe it.  Kind of like Hitler did before WW2.  Anyway, there arent any journalists in the media, they are all controlled by the government.

The Dmeocrats are worried because all along they have been shooting down Republican plans, They have been using some bad news about a few Republicans to run their elections and the Americans were foolish enough to fall for it. They Distracted us (not me) from the actual topic to superficial topics. Now they are worried because they have to actually do something. And we are all watching and waiting. Of course we all know the Democrats will be portrayed as the best thing to happen becasue the media is a liberal media. CNN,ABC,NBC,CBS,MSNBC etc..

by media do you mean something serious like FT or Herald Tribune??? I doubt many americans read either of those.\nAre they brainwashed by media like Fox and USA today? Probably...but i wouldn't even call those two "media"...

All of the mainstream media are liberal. Most are from the Woodward and Bernstein era. In their foggy minds they are all just about to expose the next Watergate.\n Most of these people are mentally disabled from dropping acid at Woodstock. In their deluded minds they're all just trying to stick it to the man or blame it on the system dude. In the back of their closets they still have their tie dyed Che Guevara T's and a dog eared copy of Chairman Mao's little red book.\nIn truth they hate America and everything it stands for. In a liberals upside-down mind anything that is normal or traditional is wrong and anything is freaky, kinky, or subversive is correct.\n\nSo what is the truth anyway. \nWell the way I see it is this.\nThe Republicans are right about half the time.\nBut the Democrats are always Wrong.

Fox news presents biased opinion masqerading as news.  It is extremely popular with rank and file republicans.  I'm assuming they find it quite soothing when their brains get tired from hearing the facts.  There are hundreds of documented examples of right-wing bias on Fox News (sometimes called Faux news).  Check the website and see for yourself!

There are three side to every story, my side, your side, and the truth.  A wise man once said to only believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear.  In the U.S. you have a very Liberal Press, but there is also enough conservative press out there that you can get a story from different perspectives.  Sometimes the world made by the press can be too real, but most of the time it is just bland.  We need to get news from several different sources in order to get a feel for what the story actually is.  The main problem with the media is that they only report what they want and that leaves a lot out there that we never get to learn about.

I actually think the media has much more of a conservative slant.  Considering that most main-stream media is owned by giant corporations, this is not surprising.\n\nMay I ask how you manage to fit so much information into your questions without going into the additional details?

Hey guys,\n\nI read your comments and agree with most of them, however, since I found this question under the “POLITICS & GOVERNMENT >> IMMIGRATION”, I figured I would stay on subject. \n\nThis is concerning. If history repeats itself (as it usually does) “The Media” can shape norms that provide a strong reaction from the general public, that can eventually motivate many forms of extermination. It can be dangerous when the role of the media is transformed from a neutral purveyor of fact, to a corporate sponsored monster that satisfies the psychotic and pathological appetites of the masses. \n\nThe basis for freedom of press is to PREVENT governments from regulating fact, to impose politically motivated information to the general public, and/or punishing those who surpass those imposed regulations. Disestablishing freedom of thought (via any media type) is the intention of manipulating the media. In today’s news, we are now seeing major corporations taking control of media sources and creating their own precepts and opinions on global and local issues (and yes even personal appearances as stated above). It’s becoming severe.\n\nSo with the oxymoron of freedom of press that we have in this country (and most others) the responsibility falls on the people to sift through the information provided and expose these tendencies. It is OUR responsibility to prevent these influences on the media that can lead to bogus information on very important matters like……Immigration Reform and the present situation our country is facing with the Mexican border. I doubt we will ever know the real issues by watching just the news. We can however guarantee the opinions we have are based upon what CNN or MSNBC has stated as fact.\n\nI suggest reading newspaper articles from other countries on these issues, and using the internet to understand Immigration Law and the legal ramifications of building an  armed wall to keep them out (or if you really think about it.......keep us in!) \n\nBe good guys.\nIt was nice talking with ya.\n\nThanks,\nAndre M

I'd like to know who the Liberal Media are today.  Is it someone like Judith Miller with a direct line to the White House? Or maybe it's the Fox News Channel on cable. Or Tucker Carlson and Chris Matthews on MSNBC.\n\nThe Liberal Media is a myth these days.  If it weren't for the New York Times, who have employed for many years persons of all political bent, including notable Conservative William Safire, and the above mentioned mouthpiece for the sitting President, we wouldn't ever know anything that the Executive Branch didn't want us to know.\n\nAdmittedly, much of the media we experience with national exposure are no longer impartial reporters of the news, and a survey of them would almost certainly favor the Conservative viewpoint. \n\nYou see where that's gotten us.  Most of what we have belatedly learned about the run up to the war has been from leaks from persons with a lot to lose, not from investigative reporting.\n\nAttila the Hun could own the different forms of media as far as I'm concerned, so long as the reporters and their managers were not constrained by the owner. \n\nHowever, that does not appear to be the case with owner Rupert Murdock, a foreigner, whose media holding seem only to present a Conservative viewpoint, with an occasional Liberal lamb decoy. I am very uneasy with this.

Sure. For example, FOX News tends to be very conservative, and support most Republicans. On the other hand, the new York Times is quite liberal and its editorials often criticize the Bush Administration, while the Washington Times is a more conservative newspaper.\n\nTalk radio is also dominated by conservatives (Limbaugh, Hannity, Dr. Laura, etc), while "mainstream media" like CNN and ABC tend to be moderately left-wing.

Regardless of your politics people, the answer is YES.  The media needs stories to fill 24 hours worth of 'news.' The media frequently "reports" what the governments reports, says, and spins.  People at all levels of government (federal, state, local, school) spend time every day trying to spin a media message in a particular way, in the same way that PR companies and corporate companies cast their messages.  How, when, what, and why a story is reported is generally structured by others in government (and business) with the public blissfully unaware.  Fox simply characterizes with a conservative bent.
