I'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.

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.

I guess it is just human nature to lean towards those that have the same perspective on politics.

SP5 Dave (Shotgun) Shockley - I'm weird. I look for people that disagree with me. Instant learning.

I think the days of professional news people doing their best to present the news in an unbiased way, such as Walter Cronkite, Huntley & 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't see this changing anytime soon.......

I believe you are wrong in at least some of the examples you cite: Cronkite was so dangerous because he hid who we really was and swayed American opinion against our nation's position at that time. Him and a hand full of others are the reason we don't still have a South and North Vietnam... and all the tragic deaths because of the fall of South Vietnam.

After being the most trusted name in news for years, Cronkite did stake out a position against the war. But the anti-war movement already had a full head of steam by then......and Nixon ran both times on a promise to get us out of there. Blaming Nam on Cronkite is a bridge too far.....he didn't start it, and he didn't end it.

Since President Trump took the oath of office... 97% of media coverage on him by CNN has been negative...How's that for "unbiased?
