Answers to Questions:


What does the information you read and consider tell you about bias in the media?  
     Answer- It tells me that there is a lot of bias in the media because what people saw on the media, effected how they voted or who they prefer for president- this is why Obama got a 5% bounce while Romney got a 1% bounce. 

How can citizens find the information they need to be informed and make purposeful decisions about their government?
     Answer- They can read various articles from different perspectives to get a feel of what is not being told in media. They can also learn from the past, look at the past presidents and think/predict what this person may do if he/she is elected once again. 

Why does it matter?
     Answer- Even though our votes don't really count, the person elected as our president will be our country's leader, so we have to be at least informed of what is happening; even though we all know there are millions of things the government does not tell us.
