For those who complain about the “mainstream media”…
by Jack Grant…a simple statement of priorities that explains the decisions made on what to publish and report, if you’re willing think about it instead of simply rant and rage:
For most folks, no news is good news; for the press, good news is not news.

What is this a commentary on?
“If it bleeds, it leads”, or the claims of media bias by many who say that their side is portrayed in a bad light by media coverage?
The media focusing on bad news is almost always not a sign of bias- at least not of a bias any greater than catering to certain segments(the majority?) of the population’s desire to see a certain gruesome sort of pornography on the nightly news.
That, ceratinly, isn’t defensible, though they do try to.

Looks like it’s pretty clearly the bias one, considering the post below that I managed to completely miss.
Typical.
