Entry #3 - Slanted Reporting

There have always been cases of slanted reporting on news channels such as MSNBC and CNN. However, one of the most biased news channels is Fox News. The amount of slanted reporting on this channel is immense and many people no longer watch Fox News due to the recent increase in this reporting tactic.

In this article, FactTank describes the flaws relating to Fox News' reporting style. They used actual statistics to show how the news team used slanted reporting to sway the opinion of their viewers. 

For example, The graph above -Borrowed from the article linked here- Shows both the positive and negative reports of both candidates of the previous presidential elections on news channels CNN, Fox, and MSNBC. As you can see, all three popular news channels used slanted reporting to try and change the opinion of the people watching their reports.

Slanted reporting occurs just about everywhere. It's up to you whether or not you choose to listen to just this information or do your own research on certain topics.

I'm not trying to prevent you from watching Fox News or any other news broadcasting stations. I just hope you can realize that most news channels use this tactic. Enjoy watching biased news stations as usual!
