SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member 2600074 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;ve noticed over recent years that many media outlets do not maintain an unbiased reporting style any longer. For example, in this election it was clear that the majority of media outlets had a chosen candidate, and it is still clear that they do not like who one. Do you think that the media should go back to unbiased reporting or do you think that they are already unbiased? Explain your answer. 2017-05-25T22:02:09-04:00 SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member 2600074

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;d have to go with unfortunately no. That said, I think it&#39;s less to do with politics than it has to do with ratings and appealing to a viewer base. <br />If opinion and presentation flavor didn&#39;t matter, then we would only need a few media outlets. One can watch CNN, Fox, BBC, MSNBC, French 24, and Al Jazeera on the same topic, and get 6 different reports. <br />I really miss the style of in-depth cross examination questions that were more common to journalists a couple/few decades ago. Touch questions across the board asked of everyone.<br /><br />BBC radio does a pretty good job of this, especially when interviewing on non-British sensitive topics. Overall, there should be less bias reporting, but there seems to be more as we go forward.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Since President Trump took the oath of office... 97% of media coverage on him by CNN has been negative...How&#39;s that for &quot;unbiased?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As long as there has been media of any sort, I do not think there has ever been a time where media was NOT biased in some fashion or another. You may come across a reporter that tries to be unbiased, but that eventually fades. And sadly, I do not feel this will ever change.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think the days of professional news people doing their best to present the news in an unbiased way, such as Walter Cronkite, Huntley &amp; Brinkley, and others, are long gone. Even they let a little bias show through every so often.......all pretenses have now been dropped. Recently, if you wanted the dirt on Trump, you tuned in MSNBC. If you wanted the dirt on Hillary, you tuned in FOX News. Most people now tune into the network that will tell them what they want to hear, digest what they are told, and run with it (without ever hearing the other side). I don&#39;t see this changing anytime soon.......

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Biggest problem is media consolidation which drowns out differing viewpoints in favor of infotainment

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Very unbiased, so long as you&#39;re a left leaning snowflake.
