Fox News Channel  A Public Policy Polling nationwide survey of 1,151 registered voters Jan , 2010 found that:  49% of Americans trusted Fox News, 10% points more than any other network.  37% said they didn’t trust Fox–the lowest level.  74% of Republicans trust network, 30% of Democrats  “A generation ago you would have expected Americans to place their trust in the most neutral and unbiased conveyors of news,” said PPP President Dean Debnam in his analysis of the poll. “But the media landscape has really changed, and now they’re turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear.”  Critics have asserted that both Fox's news reporting and its political commentary promote conservative political positions, but their slogans include: "Fair & Balanced” and "We Report. You Decide.”

Cable News Networks  CNN: the first ever 24 hour news channel; accused by some as having a liberal bias, a “Western bias,” or a bias against certain figures (John McCain).  MSNBC: accused of a liberal bias at times as well as a conservative bias at times

Political News Aggregators  DRUDGE REPORT  a news aggregation site that consists mainly of links to stories from the United States and international mainstream media about politics, entertainment, and current events as well as links to many columnists.  famous for being first to publish story about Clinton/Lewinsky scandal after Newsweek decided not to publish it  is considered conservative in tone  HUFFINGTON POST  a liberal/progressive American news website and aggregated blog founded by Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, and Jonah Peretti, featuring various news sources and columnists  was launched on May 9, 2005, as a commentary outlet and alternative to conservative news websites like the Drudge Report

Bias in The Huffington Post?  In mid-February 2008, after former First Lady Nancy Reagan fell at her California home, negative comments about the then-86-year-old former first lady were posted in the public comment section of the website by members of the public.  Bill O'Reilly of Fox News accused the website of publishing “hate speech” towards conservatives because they did not censor the posts.  Arianna Huffington said that hateful comments are not tolerated and are taken down as soon as they come to the attention of the blog's moderators.

Biased Media  What place, if any, do biased media members or outlets have in our society?  What good, if any, comes from them?  What bad comes from them?
