The issue I wish to address about media bias is the FOX news coverage of international disputes in Syria. On February 7, 2012 FOX released an article about United States consideration of arming Syrian rebels. Lawmakers Suggest US Arming Syrian rebels, as graphic images emerge
The article sparks a debate over what a proper solution would be to quell the on going fighting in Syria. What I do not like about the article is that FOX tries to force the Republicans solution against what the Democrats think is best. While different media entity's all sway on the side of being conservative or liberal in its opinions, this media bias grows old to me. All major news outlets are guilty of this and it would be nice to have strictly objective news on issues of international politics.
The article's content gives specific quotes of John McCain and his recommendations to help Syrian Rebels. What is aggravating to me is that after each of McCain's quotes the article follows up with how the Obama administration pushes back and disagrees. The information goes on to say Democrats would prefer humanitarian efforts over the use of arming Syrian rebels. The bias in the article hints that the conservative's solutions are better. This is not objective news.
