media bias, yet Republicans do believe of a media bias. Yes, media bias is prevalent and a problem. Media outlets hold a bias for the democratic party, why else would democrats not believe in a bias? The media uses their powers to influence the elections with a democratic controlled media, a conservative belief of bias and little objectivity.
