Preferred term

media bias  

Definition

  • Media bias is a tendency, subtle or overt, to advantage or overexpose one perspective (or selected person or point of view) when reporting any event, issue or debate, and/or to neglect the other side. Media biases exist as well whenever journalists provide misguiding or incomplete coverage that can lead viewers or readers to a distorted conclusion, such as introducing some common clichés into evocative formulations that can automatically lead to a predictable conclusion.
