The other medias discussing Equatorial Guinea shows much evidence of partiality to one side. The BBC new article “Paris villa of Equatorial Guinea leader’s son Obiang seized” is only showing one side of the corruption story, making the leader of Equatorial Guinea’s son seem corrupt. “Equatorial Guinea: poverty and rights abuses amid oil wealth” is a YouTube video that is biased towards the bad qualities of the country, for everything show in the video made the listener think that Equatorial Guinea is horrendous.

    'Biased In The Great Refusal'

    News stories are biased because of how they are interpreted by people and what the media chooses to include or not include in their stories. This makes it biased. We all receive information and think about things differently. It’s not the news that presents the events differently, it is the individual and their understanding of the past and present that forms their opinion about the events presented. Therefore, bias in the news will always be there because we all view and interpret information our own way and the information presented or left out of the news stories can influence our opinions.…

    Bias In The Media Essay

    The portrayal of current events in the media wields a formidable power over the opinions of its viewers. By watching or reading the news, the recipients are formulating their own judgements on the content based off of the supposedly objective information given. However, if the media chose to broadcast false or biased news, it could affect the mindsets of the entire nation and rally support for a private agenda while misusing freedom of the press to spread lies. The media also has the power to choose which stories to broadcast and some important events are not relayed to the public at all because of personal opinions and agendas. Representation in the media is flawed because of the bias in which the news portrays people, events, and organizations.…
