What the 'Media' Isn't Showing You

O.k. the whole purpose of the creation of the media was to report news unbiasedly

in order to keep bodies of government in check.  But is the Media really unbiased?  Are they really showing you the whole story and the whole 'truth'?  Well that depends on how you look at it.

Think about it, even though the media was created to be unbiased and as a means of unbiasedly reporting the news, people naturally have opinions, and these opinions play into the news we see whether they mean to or not.

Have you ever told a story and fibbed a little, or maybe not even fibbed but just left out a part?  Or maybe just emphasized another point.  Why?  Cause you had a certain point of view.  What the Media chooses to show or not show is entirely up to them.  They can control what gets shown, what gets emphasized (hopefully not what gets fibbed) what should be seen, etc.  That's the nature of humans, and humans run the Media and thus the media is subject to biases.
