How would we hear that a philandering president had hundreds of illicit affairs, or that two severely troubled teens went on one of the most horrific killing sprees ever, or that we had three of our own held captive in a war in which we had no domestic gain. The media has been the outlet for our society, as well as our inside scoop. The truth of this can have some precarious results. If the media has this much power over society, then what they say and what they believe can and will dominate our own perspectives on political and moral subjects. These are only a few of the countless surveys and results shown of media bias.
Many people ask why it matters if the media has a slant towards one side or the other.
The way to bet is that the media's liberal inclinations will eventually be apparent in their reports. Our moral issues are what are at stake. Three-quarters disagreed that homosexuality was wrong. They are not your avid churchgoers either. Even the most beloved of journalists are skeptics when it comes to Christianity and the principles it is founded upon.
