The media is definitely biased and rarely fair. The stories that get reported by the media are the ones that will get them ratings, and therefore more money. That is why we heard so much about Elian Gonzales and alomst nothing about anything else during that time. A lot of newsworthy things happened during that time, and I’m sure many of which were more important to the country as a whole than the fate of one child. Another example is that Jon Benet Ramsay murder case. She wasn’t the only kid murdered that day, but the media covered her story over and over. Every tiny development was reported. So when we watch the news we have to keep this in mind. The first priority of the people who make the decisions in the media is to make money. Reporting the news is second, so they will show the stories that will get the highest ratings and generate the most advertising dollars. The media may think that they are judge jury and executioner, but they aren’t.
