Answer 2

The Tiamin Square democratic uprising in 1989(90) the western press continual showed a man lying in front of a tank, continually moving. This was portrayed as an oppression by the Chinese government. Pictured in my mind was something I saw in 1968 democratic convention in Chicago, I was 17 years old. Where I lived at the time we only receive CBS clearly and what I saw was a women trying get through the area, she was stopped, four men with bayonets at each tire and one with a rifle in her face. If the press was truly not biased they would of showed this seen juxtaposed with the one in China.

Answer 5

How bias in the media is hidden!! In the 70's I watch all three network news for a while, some story's the same others chosen differently for that specific network agenda. All the news, relevant events, were true but the different story's chosen by the networks gave their own slant. Today you have cable news also and they choose their story's for their agenda. Supposedly 80 - 90 % of all news outlets are owned by 5 corporations which eventually determine what is news. Propaganda is usually considered for outside the country but that not the origin of the word, you might better us spin for the networks do in this country.
