chapter 7



Does objectivity still exist in the media’s coverage of politics? Of the major news outlets (CNN, Fox news, MSNBC, NPR, NBC, ect.) which are the most objective and which seem to have the most bias?
Yes some stations are for one party and will not speak objectivity about the other, but some of the other stations will talk about the others.  I don’t watch much of any of them and to say which stations is the most objective and which seems to have the most bias is something I can’t do. It all depends on who you are on the way you view the stations. I could say that CNN is all for one side and that Fox news covers and talks about both sides and another person might not see it the same way. To be honest a lot of the news stations does not really do their jobs on reporting the news they seem to want to add fuel to the fire in a since of the word.
How does talk radio (Rush Limbaugh, Keith Olbermann, ect) affect your view of politics? Why?
Talk radio does not affect my views of politics because I do not listen to them and usually when I am around a radio my kids are listening to their music.

Is media objectivity important? Why or why not?
The media objectivity is important to get out what is going on in the politics and reporting the news for both will have people to make up their minds on their own instead of being persuaded by one station. Some people out there believe what the news report rather it is wrong or right and with that a lot of people will go by what they are told and find out later what they heard was wrong. The news does impact people lives and they should report the same for both sides.

  1. I agree with you about news media, because everyone does feel differently about all news channels. I do not watch a lot of news myself because I do not have time for that with all my homework and working a full time job. I to have children who listen to their music. I though your blog was right on the money.
