In your ideal world, does the media favor one political party over the other, or should it be equal?

[Anonymous]

Obviously certain media outlets favor certain parties. But in an ideal world, should it all be equal? This is a hypothetical question of course (if you don't do well with hypotheticals, just ignore the question).

Yes, in an ideal world both parties are treated equal by the media.

No, the media has a moral responsibility to favor one party over the other.

Well yeah! I always look at right, center, left media also have a hypothesis which I weigh against other factors to reach the optimal opinion on an individual running for office. I will admit I threw that all away when supporting Trump, now I tend to be more skeptical & questioning of leadership though that doesn’t mean I can’t support one over the other at the end of the day. I think if you don’t question authority you end up in a ‘sheep’ mindset.

All media should push away politics and focus on facts, accuracy, and journalism. Facts don’t care about your religion, race, or whatever the facts are the facts.

Yes I would like a news press that can somehow make living wages from nothing to give us news coverage.

Now that I say it out loud it's not entirely impossible. Give some news organization some federal land to manage and that's the income to manage national news it is possible.

This new broadcast is proudly brought to by "this or that" national park and the donations from all those visitors. Not likely but possible. lot of double blind investor groups in the stock market can shore up funds and make it even feasible.

[NaultD]

What I mean by double blind. Meaning anyone from the news can't communicate with investors directly and vise Versa.

For the stock investors specialist growing money where they can. That client is some person not the most potentially trust worthy news ever.

It would still be state funded media in the best way imaginable.

Neither option A or B the media has a responsibility to say the truth regardless if it favors 1 party or another as an example Hillary Clinton was for Medicare for all back in the day and today she doesn't have that belief after substantial amounts of cash was given to her by companys that should have been said on all media sites back in the day no matter if it's left or right same with those on the right like trump he knew what Epstein was into even saying well u know Epstein he likes them young this should be pointed out on every media channel back when the story came out

In an ideal world the media is objective, non Bias and non Sensational.

So regarding political parties the media should report on party programs and policies equally and fairly.

[normalice]

The media should favor objective fact. If one party is less fantasy-based than the other then the media should end up favoring that party organically.

They should be treated equally. Too bad the fake news is in the tank for the Democrats. Nobody beleives anything they say.
