solutions. In “Regulating for an Independent Media: The Problems of Political and Commercial
Bias” (2009), Matthew Ellman and Fabrizio Germano express that media bias can be solved with
numerous solutions (7). This article describes how effective a news source can be on persuading
a reader. Matthew and Fabrizio list examples in order to call out selective reporting for specific
occurrences; in fact, they state that media “benefits from making advertising more effective”
directly (25). The authors seem to address people with power in this essay because the authors
suggest solutions like “allocating funds” and “removing advertisement from tv,” which only
Media bias isn’t inherently bad but can become bad over time if overexposed. In “Media
Bias is Ok – If it’s Honest” (2019), Nathan Robinson argues that not all media bias can be
inherently bad (4). Nathan addresses how many arguments can be multi-sided and productive.
Nathan expresses the connection between the stronger medias and the lean in political spectrum.
The full eradication of media bias is unrealistic, whereas creating less of a bias is
achievable. In “Reducing Media Bias in Our Newsfeeds is Complicated” (2016), Laura Akers
claims that “No news source is going to be completely unbiased” (10). Laura expresses how the
media is already built around being biased, and how unbiased media can be very beneficial.
Laura seems to address readers who share a curious interest in unbiased news, directly speaking
to the audience with the statement, “there’s a few things they need to keep in mind” (8).
It is considered important to display events without bias in today's world. In “How to
Avoid Media Bias When Covering Political News Stories' ' (2018), Glenn Halbrooks claims that
the best way to report media is to find the most unbiased resources (14). Glenn does this by using
a logical list of steps to take when reporting news like “deciding you are completely confident to
the information you are presenting.” Glenn expresses the importance of understanding where
your information is coming from and how accurate that information is.
In “The Blurred Lines of Modern Media” (2018), Armstrong Williams claims that
“Social media often forces us to experience a stronger media bias” (24). Armstrong develops his
claim by emphasizing two definite sides to an argument using thoughtful syntax and relatable
examples like, “Facebook benefits by collecting user data about our preferences” (29), and
“Facebook’s machines lead them to like-minded people talking in similar ways about the same
topics as dictated by the platform” (32). Armstrong brings up very well-thought out examples
which show how the increased visiting to social media increases our exposure to media bias; in
fact, Armstrong suggests that “when we increase the amount of time we spend on any one
