Media

What do you think about the Media in general? I've noticed that a lot of times good things do happen and they fail to report it. The media always seems to report bad things and lean towards the liberal side of things. I personally don't have a political preference, I go with who I believe will do things correctly. I do, however, notice a lot that the media is very liberal.

What do you think?

I assume you mean the U.S. media, as it may not be the same throughout all countries?

Also, some areas of the U.K media (where I am) seem to be more balanced than others. So a vote in this poll would have to be a judgement on the average of all forms of media.

(& what weighting should we give to TV as opposed to the press? I'm judging internet media to still be of quite low influence.)

Yes, I mean United States media. There are some media here which seem to be more balanced (i.e. Fox News).

I mean media in general. Whether that be television or press is up to you. It's all about the same, right?

I've seen some good examples of media. Of course, just like anyone the media can have it's own opinion on things, but people do have the right to find another source of news/content or filter out what is going on and stick to their beliefs. Sure, anyone or anything can be misleading, so I won't go too hard on them. The thing is though, the media goes get annoying when the repeat the same stuff over and over. I see this all the time with video game teasers and on TV News. TV news I'll just shut it off and stick to the Internet like I always do, but with game teasers and such when I see the same content being crammed in a video that was in a previous video, I just pause the video, switch the tab, let the video continue to load, and then close the video thus wasting bandwidth.
