From the Paper:

"Bias in the Media For years, the conservatives in the United States have been proclaiming and lamenting the "liberal media" in this nation. However, with the recent questionability of the Bush administration and conservative federal government in their many doings and victories, the media seems to have been one that lauds and applauds those in power, leading one to believe that the media and its outlets is the exact opposite, that it is one with a conservative bias. This paper will discuss the many ways in which this biased media has been a detriment to the country, hurting Americans with lack of fair news and unbiased information, all the while swaying power to those who have a conservative agenda. Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them and David Brock's The Republican Noise Machine will be the two texts used to investigate the negative results of this biased media."
