Can someone please make a single article about >media< ?? its really confusing :P

[edit]

Would it be worthwhile discussing political bias on this page?Andycjp 8th Sept 2006

Probably- What sort of thing did you have in mind? N-edits 21:53, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Media bias in the United States seems to be a better place for that. --Aioth 07:39, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah the section about profit motive is so ridiculous I almost laughed out loud reading it. - Unsigned comment left by 67.165.52.226 4th Dec 2006

EDIT: Actually the entire article is so amazingly biased in so many ways that the only real solution is deletion and a rewrite. The article is nothing more than a listing of some major American media news outlets, and then it delves straight into issues that are not relevant to a description of the US news media, but rather would fit in perfectly as part of the Media bias in the United States page.

The article is well sourced, so if you find it biased (as you may) you can find arguments to the contrary and add them to the article, and cite your sources, that is how wikipedia works (wikipedia: NPOV). Deletion and rewrite would not be in line with the way wikipedia works. The article is about US media, so a discussion of bias in US media is entirely in the right place on this page, although it may be on another page aswell.
Wikipedia policy is that the tag regarding neutrality must be followed by specific examples of such non-neutrality on the talk page; until this happens i will remove the tag. 129.12.200.49 15:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also please explain how profit motive section is ridiculous? 129.12.200.49 15:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect?

[edit]

Why exactly does Western media redirect here? The Western world is not limited to the United States. Aridd (talk) 15:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
