The information I read says a lot about the bias media, especially in this article. It talks mostly favoring Obama and describing how Romney's convention didn't do much for him. Romney was only able to make par from his convention(catch up), instead of make birdie as Obama did immediately after Clinton's speech.
In order for citizens to really make an authentic decision not based on bias views, they need to find a website that is so bias. Since this would be pretty difficult to do, they can also can look on both sides of the bias views and decide like that. However, it is very difficult to encounter non-bias views on the elections with the media today. This matters because everybody should be able to make a decision on who they think can best run the country from their own views and not other people's bias views. Both sides may seem good and persuasive, but it really is about weighing the flaws of each candidate. Just using one site to get all your information will gear you towards onside because of the bias.
Well the way I see it, bias draws people's attention. It gets them thinking. But you're right, people often do use one website and base all their views off of that. Yes, the article that Ms. Blatteau gave us is very bias. It's clearly going for Obama, and while, for example, I may prefer one candidate over the other, and so does everyone else, the media should not be that deciding factor. Not at all. People should form their own opinions, and that is the major issue with the reoccurring heavy bias found in many of today's news articles.
