Wednesday, July 13, 2005Media Bias?
I really am trying to bring this week's political discussion around to words and writing ... really! I was totally going to bite my friend Chad's style and do a similar thing with the Karl Rove story headlines that he did with some Terri Schiavo headlines.
Of course, he beat me to it. Which is only fair (and balanced?). Please check out the five headlines he assembled and see if you can find the liberal bias. You'll have to look hard with that glaring conservative Fox News headline blinding you. My J-school wife tells me all the time about how "objective reporting" is merely presenting both sides of the story. Does that mean both sides of the story before the jump? Both sides in the headline? Both sides equally represented in sidebars and pull quotes? She will most likely have an answer -- or at least a better argument about this that I can have. Does a paper or new organization serve its readers better by giving them the news they want to hear? Does a president do a better job by following what the people of America tell him they want. Where are the leaders in this country?
