St. Louis U. student takes on media bias "Saint Louis University student Amy Lutz has some thoughts regarding the role leftist bias plays in the distorted reporting:"
The leftist bias in the main stream media further solidifies the denigration of the press as a check on government activity. During the 2012 election, the media went to bat for President Obama. Every statement Mitt Romney uttered was examined with a fine toothed comb and relentlessly criticized the former candidate while President Obama was seemingly outside the scope of media investigation. And don’t even get me started on the debate moderators (Here’s looking at you Candy Crowley).In making her case for the need to have independent media (which I like to think includes this blog) she observes that:
...the main stream media bias is self-imposed. Yes, they often face pressure from government officials to publish favorable stories, but there’s no law or regulation saying they must do so. The bias in the main stream media is perpetuated by peer pressure, intimidation, and a shocking lack of individual initiative.Original article here: The (Un)Freedom of the Press
