[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I analyze media for a living and there are some issues with most US media. The most reliable and fact -checked of the widely available media is the NYT. The Post is fact checked, but they can be a bit more selective on how they present those facts. CNN is also way more biased than it used to be.

Fox is nothing more than a propaganda machine designed to incite fear. They keep certain themes front and center that are little more than rumors and they put nothing into any kind of perspective. The best example I have ever seen was last year when Republicans were still having debates. There was one where Chris Christie called out Trump hard. I saw that live. So I went over to Fox to see how they covered those remarks. First, I had to scroll way down on the main page to find a mention that the debate happened. Then, not only did Fox not cover Christie’s remarks, they did not even mention him by name as being present. They listed all the other participants. The picture of the debate participants had been cropped in such a way to cut him out. So if you were a Fox viewer, you would not have had access to the information that might give you context. CNN and MSNBC certainly were somewhat hysterical in the coverage of what the Republican candidates said, but they didn’t cut out the existence of the participants. NYT was a bit more boring and simply fact checked the statements and called BS.

Most people leave their TVs on a station of choice. During a crisis, make a conscious decision to spend half an hour on a variety of networks and see what is presented to you. It’s eye opening. It not bias to call out misstatements disproportionately if one candidate disproportionately spews out untruths. [/quote]

Interesting job. Maybe do a study on how many COVID shots are recommended by each news source. [/quote]
