Do you feel that most of the Australian media is biased in one way?

Do you think that the media may be controlled by one group of people or under the influence of a group of people?

Discuss.

the media has some typical biases in some ways but i dont think its really partisan slated

theres a lot of disagreement and discourse within subjects deemed generally acceptable to discuss but outside a certain range its obv extremely biased

aussie media is generally a lot better than american media

commercial stations and murdoch papers are only "biased" to the lowest common denominator

fairfax papers, abc and sbs are pretty balanced

No really, the media just happens to cling onto whatever stirs controversy. i.e. a bunch of trolls at best.

All major media outlets have a pro-war on drugs agenda

A bias most definitely exists on a range of levels.

It could also be argued that the media is biased in reporting proper news worthy stories and instead would prefer to fixate on crap like Shane Warne and Sheen.
