Chapter 7

1.)    I believe that news media today is very objective.  Most news media outlets have an agenda behind most things that they broadcast especially when reporting on political stories or issues.  Fox News is one of the most biased in my opinion and has a very strong Republican opinion and agenda when dealing with political and social issues.    
2.)    I do not really listen to talk radio so it really doesn’t have any influence over my political opinions.  However I am very strong in my political opinions so I do not believe that talk radio would have much of an impact on my beliefs anyway. 
3.)    I believe that media objectivity is important but also can be negative thing.  It is important because it helps implement the watch dog effect to help keep the government from becoming corrupt.  But objectivity of the media can also put a bias on subjects that there should be a neutral standpoint on in the news media. Regardless of the good and bad of media objectivity, the news outlets will always be objective and more than likely always respect one side of politics over another.
