Chapter 7

1) Does objectivity still exist in the media's coverage of politics?  Of the major news outlets which are the most objective and which seems to have the most bias?

I'm not really sure how  to answer part of this question.  I don't think there is any real objectivity in any of the news forums any more.  Most say they are objective, but they state only what they want to.  I think this is true of ALL TV networks and newspapers.

2) How does talk radio affect your view of politics?  Why or why not?

I don't listen to talk radio.  One of my past employers would have talk radio on and I learned to tune it out because I got tired of the yelling and name calling.  So talk radio does not affect my view of politics at all.

3) Is media objectivity important?  Why or why not?

I think media objectivity is very important because so many people believe everything they see or hear on the news.    And some times if you watch two different stations, you get two different opinions 'stories' so you don't know who to believe or what is really going on.
