Alright... so if that's our opinion on the News Channels, then have we ever stopped to think WHY the news is Liberal?
Well lets see.. this is a capitolist economy..... what sells is what makes the money, therefore is what will be wanted by producers and etc...
Well, 'supposedly' the 'right wing' has all the money, so wouldn't that make the news be more conservative? Well apparently not, because as people seem to vehemently state, the media is apparently left side biased. So lets think on this. What sells? What will make money? Euricha!!!! EMOTION!!!! People will respond to emotion!!! We found our marketing tool!!! It's even a 2 edged sword!!!
Think of it... in general, as a stereotype, Republican's are thought of as fat-wallet, penny pinchers... and Democrat's are thought of as Emotional zealots.... Now how does this make sense that media would aim at the Democrats? Well because in general the people of the USA respond to emotion! This has been seen in many many years of news. Take a look back at any news story from the past, and they will ALWAYS try to aim for some emotional attachment to the story to involve the audience, therefore keeping viewership, aka making sponsers happy.
I know I'm missing a lot of the details of my arguement atm (I'm drunk and stoned, so cut me some slack
)... but If anyone actually responds I'll reply in more detail tommorow when I get the chance.
