With the media being so conservative and corporate-dominated how can we get closer to the facts?

Answer 1

Al Jazeera or BBC. Anything Murdoch owned should be viewed with one eye closed. I`m not an Arab, but i watch Al Jazeera because it pulls no punches and is not opinionated, in my view at least. Besides Bush hates it, so they have to be on the right track with thier reporting. The BBC are as good as the best out there as well.

Answer 2

Haha well you seem to have found yourself some conservatives. I would greatly agree that corporate America has its hand in all of the media that we receive. Money is always a factor in any kind of media, including journalism. As to whether things are more liberal or more conservative im sure you can find instances where either one are too predominant when one is looking for unbiased news. I suppose something like a PBS broadcast of the news would be the closest to being unbiased from the making money standpoint though even they have "pay the bills", better known as a membership to the yacht club. Anyways, the news is reported by people and people, probably 100% of the time, put their own opinion and themselves into anything they come in contact with, at the very least, unconsciously.

Answer 3

Vote Oparh for President!

America's problems go way deeper than a corporate influenced government.

How come the USA is one of only two (the other being South Africa) western nations which don't have national healthcare?

More importantly, why are it's people so apathetic to the fact?

P.S. Seven out of the top ten Republican campaign supporters are health/pharmaceutical companies...

Answer 4

It's pretty difficult to view the media as conservative when polls indicate that 80% or more of the media types vote for liberal democrats at election time.

Answer 5

Conservative? Yeah, sure... The media is highly liberal.. The only good solution is Fox News, Fair and Balanced.

Answer 6

by "the facts" , you obviously mean the liberal spin on the facts.

Gee, it's tough to find liberals in the news media today... have you tried tuning in to NBC news...or CBS news...or ABC news...or Good Morning America...or The Early Show....or the Today Show...or The "View".... or CNN....or MSNBC...or CNBC... or National Public Radio....or read the New York Times...or the L.A. Times...or the Boston Globe...

Good luck trying to find a liberal in THAT bunch! LOL

Answer 7

Do your own research. When you read or hear something, get on your computer and type it into the search engine...like yahoo. Not everyone is controlled by the media.
