Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias
Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it.

Hitch, The Brits Started This Mess, Along With Reagan

Who "made" Fox News & Carl Cameron? News Flash: Not Rupert!

I first noticed ''the Rupert Effect'' when I saw a greatly admired film, highly critical of modern Nation State governance in an abstract, predictive, and prescient way, titled, ''Brazil'' directed by British filmmaking genius, Terry Gilliam. The first time I saw the film, I enjoyed ...
