Chapter 7


1.      Does objectivity still exist in the media's coverage of politics?  Of the major news outlets (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, NPR, NBC, etc.), which are the most objective and which seem to have the most bias?
Out of all the major media outlets, Fox News is definitely the most biased.  They are definitely in support of the Republican Party which is wrong for a news station.  A news station shouldn’t have any opinion on politics; they should just report the news.
2.      How does talk radio (Rush Limbaugh, Air America, etc.) affect your view of politics?  Why?
I have no opinion on this matter being that I do not listen to any talk radios besides Clark Howard once in a blue moon.
3.      Is media objectivity important?  Why or why not?
The news should just be to inform the public about what is happening in the world, not to speak their opinions about a subject.
