How much perspective bias made by media?
One of sources of information was media (tv, internet, radio, etc). If someone only receive information from those media, is it enough?
Do man behind the media give necessary information to avoid the biases?

Everyone has biases. The trick for the journalist is to work beyond them. I think the media has done a poor job at covering what is going on. I think they are more interested in making a profit line than in informing the public. I don't think any one media source is enough.
I find it disturbing that a newspaper knew about the domestic spying authorized by Bush before the 2004 election and yet they withheld that from the public. I think that is an issue the public should have know prior to the election.

because of the politicians now in control, the media can still tell the truth but seem biased. It is part of the spin put upon the coverage by private news such as FOXNews and the willingness of content people not to question the Money. In about 3 years, we will all be in worse shape because of people and their fear of losing guns and comfort. The record will show the manipulation by the Elderly Rich.

The media is mostly liberal and puts that kind of slant on their stories. They hire reporters who toe the line and limit the other points of view. They portray the religious right as wacko. Politically, I find most media outlets are very Democrat in the US and very Liberal in Canada. Look at what Dan Rather did...he got caught in a lie, but others have used innuendos that portray the right wingers in a bad light.

No, media is incredibly biased. They always go for the attractive news and don't really mind how they go about it. Get your news from more than one source.
