Why Media Bias Matters? ... Since citizens cannot cast informed votes or make knowledgeable decisions on matters of public policy if the information on which they depend is distorted, it is vital to American democracy that television news and other media be fair and unbiased. With the political preferences of the press no longer secret, members of the media argue while personally liberal, they are professionally neutral. They argue their opinions do not matter because as professional journalists, they report what they observe without letting their opinions affect their judgment. ... Liberal bias in the news media is a reality. ... That is why it is so important news media reports be politically balanced, not biased.
As much as we rail against media bias, expecting the media to be unbiased is unreasonable.
