joel There was a strong discussion last week about media bias in their presidential coverage. 3 out of 4 respondents thought that the media was biased toward Barack Obama. Less than 10% saw media bias toward McCain.
On Tuesday, the Erie Times-News ran a story about the feud between Keith Olbermann and Bill O’Reilly. One of points made in the article was that consumers of news want to see it through their own ideological filters. This phenomenon has caused much hand-wringing, with some claiming that it contributes to the polarization of our society.
