mcjeff215 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Okay, WTF? I'm not one to think believe all of this media bias BS, but CNN.com has Hussein family photos on the front page and the same "obituary" photo it uses for everyone. Family photos? The guy was found guilty of crimes against humanity and they post family photos after his execution? Everyone feel sorry for him on the count of three! -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Editorial standpoints do dictate how stories are covered. This is not new, but the emergence of Fox News has prompted several agencies, especially CNN, to be more blatant about said bias. It is all about money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all about money. I can buy that angle. Gear it towards a demographic and whatnot... yeah. It's not so much a belief based bias but a money backed bias. Sure. News agencies suck.

It's not so much a belief based bias but a money backed bias. Sure. News agencies suck. You got it. The Internet is killing mainstream media, so the excutives are looking to find niches to give viewers/readers a sense of belonging. Conservatives started watching Fox is such huge numbers that CNN started failing very badly. So now they know they lost the conservatives, so they aim to please the other side of the aisle. It is working to some point. Newspapers are following suit. Advertisers don't care whether newspaper content is ethical, as long as people are picking it up. People seem to pick up the newspapers that report the news the way they want to see it. It is skewing quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Fox refers to him as "Butcher of Baghdad" and the backdrop is a pile of skulls; no family pictures there. Bah, all of the news I need I get from Sean Hannity!

Quite literally "Hussein Family Photos." Some of these captions are priceless, "Hussein Kame's wife Raghad and son Ali in her arms." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
