The Media is Biased - most people believe

According to the poll three out of four people think that the media is biased. That's a lot. My guess is as the Media (including news) becomes more opinioned and infotainment, this bias will increase, and it becomes less a public service.

Bias is one reason why people will turn to blogs to find the bias that suits them.

clipped from blog.wired.com The web is the most trusted news medium (over TV and print combined), and Fox News is the most trusted TV news source, according to results from a new Zogby poll commissioned by the Independent Film Channel. The online survey of 3,472 adults two days after the election found that three out of four people think that the media influenced the outcome, and about the same number also think that the media in general is biased. In the other categories, The New York Times was the most trusted newspaper and Rush Limbaugh (12.5 percent) came out on top among news personalities closely followed by Fox’s Bill O’Reilly (10.1 percent).
