Abstract

The internet and media were escapes from the real world. Allowing people to

explore and experience new sources of entertainment and news. Over the years,

the media has grown larger and has gone worldwide. More and more people are

getting hired into media companies, but that also means more biased opinions

would enter the chat. People of different religions, people with different skin color,

political views, would have a voice. Media bias displays bigotry to one side of an

idea. We decided to analyze and dig deeper on this topic as the media starts to

show its true colors; mainly focusing on the States. Our groundwork has shown us

how persuasive one article can be to one’s point of view. We have done intensive

research on this controversy, and we hope you put your two cents into our

presentation.

1. Introduction

What is ‘Media Bias’?

Media bias is the deliberate selection and portrayal of news, events, and stories by

the journalists and producers within the mass media in a subjective or twisted

manner. Basically, these articles that are considered as biased, more often than not,

derogate a specific group of people who are regarded by society as the vulnerable

or the minorities. More than just discriminating against certain groups of people,

such biased contents also hold the corrupt power to convince and influence many

of their readers to adopt the same crooked view.

2. Objective

We will include racial and political media bias in our body paragraph. We are

focusing on this field as the situation in America well represents the bias hidden

inside news sites and the media.
