Take the Palestinian and Israeli media away, do you think the Swiss media would be biased?

There are plenty of countries which choose to remain neutral in world affairs, who's media is decently unbiased.

Having spent last year living in Switzerland, I say bull to that. :)

Okey genius, what is the Swiss media biased about?
Dude, all media is biased. It's just the same as here. A country's political stance doesn't tend to be reflected in its media. As everywhere, it exists to sell itself. The Swiss media is quite funny in the way it constantly stirs up the country to believe that they are going to be invaded. Or their financial security is threatened. It can actually be quite racist (just the same as here).

But you said Western media, not just the US.
Western implies the US a lot, as a "leader" of the West if you will, a country which sets media and mainstream benchmarks, regardless of how unwillingly it does it, from the point of view of the people living in other western countries.

But in general, all western media is biased, this stems from the fact that most western media is owned by very few people, whom are all connected to elitists/government, etc.

^ How is starcraftmazter not right?

Both sides (West + East(?)) have biased media. The Western media is just less open about it.

And as you can see by this photo, it is the Western countries which have the most free (unrestricted) press:

Whilst in places like China and Russia, all the press is government owned and run.
I surely hope you are joking.

USA has the worst media of any country on Earth, easily, by a factor of infinity. There is only ratings, only money, only power. The accuracy of the news is completely irrelevant there.


I suggest you do a bit of research,
http://www.globalissues.org/HumanRights/Media/USA.asp
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=US+media&sitesearch=
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_bias
http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/Media-Bias-Is-Real-Finds-UCLA-6664.aspx?RelNum=6664
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200410/s1229029.htm
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/09/09/1094530764780.html
http://books.google.com.au/books?hl...0x8E&sig=t3vXa90rWZV8rLXmCzgOOnFqS5k#PPP13,M1

US media bias and general propaganda grew exponentially during the Cold War and remains strong. In many ways, it's part of a general US propaganda campaign. And that's not to say that the US is the only country which does it, but certainly to a bigger extent than anyone else.

Also, a great book.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies_My_Teacher_Told_Me

US Media bias and propaganda has no end.


And for the record, I never claimed all US media is corrupt, Indy sites are much more likely to be unbiased, but any and all mainstream news surely is.

YES! The Zionist run media is so biased in the US it is just that no one can see! see how they frame every non western country using the media! USA is master manipulator of its people! They turn people against the middle east - they invaded Iraq, they turned people against Afghanistan with the 9/11 'attacks' - then they invaded it! And now they are turning people against China!
They are hungry for power! It is only a matter of time until the Zionists turn the western countries against each other and when that happens it will be only us Arabs to defend the world from Israel.
When the world is in such a situation the USA will regret disarming Iraq and the UN sanctions against Iran's nuclear missile research.

There's no such things as a free media.

Some countries are less repressed than others but in the end all media has a personal agenda depending on who owns it.

You are a fucking joke. Resorting to attacks on another culture that you know nothing about. How mature and tolerant of you.

If you can't win'em say fuck'em right?

You are quite sad. An attack on press freedom in relation to the Chinese government shouldn't degenerate into an attack on the Chinese people and their culture. Get off your moral high horse, and take off your crusader costume to reveal the prejudiced being you really are. Stereotyping people isn't exactly the best way to claim the moral high ground, nor is it productive in appealing to reason. Stop projecting your moral ego wherever you think it's convenient to do so.

PS: Do you condone the USA's treatment of Guantanamo detainees?

I love how people always bring that up as if it
a) nullifies their own country's human rights abuses
b) is as bad as their own country's human rights abuses.
