Who is seeking to use the government to correct media bias? I haven't seen that.
The problem with the media today is not bias, per se, but that the bias, for decades, has been almost completely in one direction, backed up powerfully by the bias of academia. Even right-wing talk radio is affected by it, as talk radio typically only defends the right from the attacks of the leftist press. This is why they are accused of being GOP apologists, Bush apologists, etc. An apologist is one who defends. The result of this is that talk radio may put their slant on issues, but they are usually only talking about the issues that the MSM has already put on the agenda. This is why talk radio has been exclusively a Mark Foley zone this past week, rather than discussing the threat of Iran or the failings of Democrats in the area of national security, etc.
Scholars of American history have no doubt which newspapers in past eras were party organs. News will always be biased. But the current news media has been widely accused of leftist bias for at least two decades and are only now beginning to come close to admitting it. The media would begin to correct its problem, if journalists would see that other educated people have a point of view that differs from theirs. If they would see how their view of the world might color their reporting of political events, they could report more accurately.
Everyone has some bias, but if we can admit that bias, we can see where we might be letting our bias mislead us and others. Bias is not just a case of giving your point of view. Sometimes, it is a matter of lying to oneself and painting an inaccurate picture of what is actually happening. The old-line media seeems unwilling to admit this, and perhaps not even capable of it.
