Do you think all news and media outlets are biased in some way?

Question

Why/why not?

Accepted Answer

Yes and every person is biased in some way

Answer

There’s only 6 companies who own (almost) all of the media, worldwide. 
It’s a bit corrupt.

Answer

I saw a short YouTube video yesterday showing a shit load of news reports from different stations in the US where they played them all together and they were almost word for word identical reports, if that's not the media being controlled and biased I don't know what is.

Answer

Yes. The most notable ones are Fox, CNN, & MSNBC from what I have seen. It’s probably best to watch local channels.

Answer

There is no such thing as true objectivity because every person's perspective is shaped by their circumstantial experiences.  How people interpret data is also subjective. How people read an article is subjective. So in hindsight, yes, media outlets will have some amount of bias.

Answer

Yes. All news stories are in some way embellished or bias.

Answer

yes, everything we see and read is influenced by personal bias from reporters and higher-ups plus pressure and financial incentives from government and companies.

Answer

Yes, but a little no. All American major news outlets are, but I've seen some foreign ones that are less, even to the point of me not even considering it bias.

Answer

Yes, because they are managed and reported through humans, who by nature hold elements of bias. The best news to me is when a bias is acknowledged and then the report starts.. it allows you to the find the same story with a conflicting spin and make a conclusion

Answer

Yes, but it shouldn’t be. Unless it’s an opinion show/the purpose is to literally give opinions, it really should just be facts and maybe asking other people their opinions. The original purpose of the news was to deliver the news/facts in an unbiased manner. And while it’s evolved some, to where some opinions are fine, I think there’s an overload of them. It’s why many news outlets are more biased towards the right wing (Fox News, for example), many are also more biased towards the left wing (CNN, for example). I try and watch a variety of both types, as well as more locals stations and international outlets (like BBC) for a more full understanding.
