It's a question that man has pondered since the beginning of time: Is there a media bias?
I got into a lengthy debate the other day about bias in the media in the United States. I have always thought that the notion the media slanted to the left was false. My reasoning was that most media is owned primarily by large corporations which tend to be conservative. However, my opponent pointed out that with the exception of fox news, the media is dominated exclusively with liberal anchors. I think that we can all agree that fox is conservative, but what about the rest of the networks? I'm starting to see that both arguments are valid.
