 Is the US media biased beyond belief? Here a few key figures of something that one could describe as US propaganda machine: A study by pipa.org + university of maryland found out that the following WRONG statements were thought to be true 4x more likely by FOX NEWS viewers (than by users of non-commerical news sources as the National Public Radio or the Public Broadcasting System):

The odds are stacked against them (cnn viewers). Think about it. If all you hear is lies, then what else are you supposed to believe. Such news doesn't appeal to critical thinking americans. posted by liberal slayer |

 Liberal slayer. Welcome to the forum (i haven't seen you before so I'm presuming you are new). Do you think that CNN is worse than FOX news or are you just illustrating that it is just as bad? posted by fatpie42 |

 What does it matter? Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Either way, you're not getting truthful journalism. Fox News is right-wing biased & CNN is left-wing biased. Where is the outlet for people that fall in the grey area? It doesn't exist. The U.S. media is so biased in either direction that it's a joke. Trust me, I worked in the industry for 8 yrs. I've seen it and experienced it in both TV & print. posted by GP |

Agent Zero: fox news is fair and balanced. C'mon man. I know you're conservative but they are not fair and balanced. Well, I guess if you were a conservative they would be. Much like if you were left-wing you'd believe CNN was fair and balanced. posted by GP |

(just so it rhymed) I agree though, the media is biased and so it is our responsibility to get our news from both extremes and use critical thinking and our own beliefs to determine our own opinions. However...i think that fox isn't as right biased as the multitude of left biased news providers posted by liberal slayer |

What's funny is that's what my buddies would say when I show up for a party, at a bar, etc... 
Yeah, I'll agree w/you there. The media definately has been taken over by the left. Either way, it just drives me up the wall how irresponsible journalism has gotten these days. You must admit that both the left and right are guilty of that. posted by GP |

The media is distorted on both sides. It's our responsibility to get it from both and critically form an opinion. Hey zero, i get mine from your mom! posted by liberal slayer |

Quote: it just drives me up the wall how irresponsible journalism The only relief is the internet. TV is good for moving pictures, though (= video clips). TV in Russia was shut down. Only state TV is allowed (= in the hand of Putin). You won't get any real journalism anymore in Russia. News paper journalists have been murdered. posted by knn |
