Daily Smith County Jail News | Is There Bias In Local News?

without comments

The “What Part of No” committee Is claiming that they have become invisible to the local newspaper. Is it possible, could a local news outlet that claims media fairness possibly be biased?

Frankly, Yes!

This is what we have come to expect from much of the main stream media. It is also why main stream media is hemorrhaging credibility like a mortgage broker, and why more and more people have come to rely on alternative news sources like blogs to get information.

They may not all be accurate, but every side will be presented, and people will have the chance to look at each view presented, and make up their own minds. Main stream media can claim fairness, but as long as they decide what is news, and what is not, they can remain biased by exclusion.
