Bias exists in all areas of media as well as through various different outlets. Gun control has become a very prominent issue recently, mainly because the vast amount of innocent lives lost in recent shootings.

The first article presents a Liberal perspective is an online article written by Alex Thomas for Intellihub. The second…

Media bias is found in every story and article published, each author twists and bends information to fit their views. With everyone trying to get their side across, we never actually get the entire story from just one source. For, example earlier this year in February, three muslim students were murdered by their neighbor, Craig Stephen Hicks. This story was covered by many news outlets, including CNN and Fox News, who have both been known to be very biased. Two different sides of the story…

These biases are often studied in psychology and behavioral economics. There are many types of these cognitive biases, which influence the reasons why we think what we think.

Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines Cognitive Dissonance as: “psychological conflict resulting from incongruous beliefs and attitudes held simultaneously” (Merriam-Webster). I feel that this can have a large impact on the quality of people working for a company.

It is safe to say we all have a common negative response to a topic discussing totalitarianism, due to us living and waking up every day in a country with a democratic structure. Each and every human being living in the U.S.A. and is recognized as a U.S. citizen acquire human rights and the power to say and be whatever you want.

Fox News is one of the most controversial American television stations mainly because of one word, bias. They have been accused on several occasions of favoring the political right and misrepresenting facts/arguments. However, it seems to have gotten to the point where people just assume Fox News is overly biased based on what others say. There are a lot of people who have never even seen a decent amount of Fox News just because they assume that it’s garbage. I was one of those people until…
