Bias in the media
Media bias exists and is more heavily populated than ever. Especially now with the rise of social media, opinion takes over many popular news outlets on television, radio, blogs, podcasts, etc. This may be due to the fact that with so many channels for people to choose to consume content, they want to choose ones that will align with their own beliefs and values. So these news outlets are becoming more tailored to certain targeting groups through sprinklings of bias in media. How else will these news outlets be chosen by news consumers than producing content they WANT to hear/read? This is another example of how we must become better news consumers and learn how to decode news pieces so that we are not swayed by the bias present.
