When it comes knowing what’s going on around the world, I
prefer to go on different news websites based on their political bias. Fox News is one of news
websites that I will go on. Fox New
views toward more conservative than liberal side. According to Jesse Holcomb, an associate
research director for the Pew Research Center, the graph
showed which of the presidential campaign is better between President Barack
Obama and Governor Mitt Romney in 2012. Fox News have acted more negative sides toward Obama
because he was presidential candidate for the democratic side. My parents always watch the Fox News during morning
and evening time, and ABC news on the specific evening time. My parents
are one of reasons that influence me go on those news websites, also because
they are conservative. Unlike New York
Times, its view toward more liberal. . Both of news websites that I would
go on and getting ideas about the world events.
The neutral political website that I would go to is The
Independent. The Independent is news
organization in U.K that cover news around the world and doesn’t support any
political party. People should not stick
with one website that focus on one side of views, but also check what other
news websites that talk about the same topic.
Thirdly, CNET is my favorite news of all when it comes to technology. CNET is a news organization that cover latest consumer
technology and how technology can change people life. Its web also provide
deals that people can purchase. I am big
fan of technology. Recently, Roger Cheng,
an editor for CNET News, wrote about that 5G network won't come until 2017, also, it won’t come full availability until 2020.
This news not only cover what technology coming out, but also specific
detail and deal about the product.

Moreover, ESPN is one of sport websites that I go on four times a
week. ESPN broadcast sports like Tennis, Football, Baseball, Soccer, and
so on. The best part of this is that it allows me to select my favorite team
based on the sport and cover the news on it. Additional, it broadcasts live
sports, which I am not miss anything on TV.
In the end, news website cover variety of topics for
viewers to searching their topic. People prefer to go on news that posted on
the website rather newspaper or TV due to everyone carry their smartphone with
them or using computer. News web will always have bias based on the
topic. Not every news websites are reliable and trustworthy, it all depending
what people search and what news website they looking at.
Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteI agree that the news can certainly influence our perception of the world and reality. And we can tell a lot by someone depending on which news stations they follow.
When you say you go to FOX News, do you mean local FOX affiliates, or the cable Fox News channel? I ask that because you mention that Fox News is balanced, but if you mean the corporate, 24-hour FOX News, know that they don't have a reputation for presenting information in a "unique" and not always forthright way. For example, take a look at this article: "The statisticians at Fox News use classic and novel graphical techniques to lead with data," which can be found at http://simplystatistics.org/2012/11/26/the-statisticians-at-fox-news-use-classic-and-novel-graphical-techniques-to-lead-with-data/
You say here that news web will always be biased based on the topic. I'm not sure that's always the case. There is quite a bit of bias, to be sure, but much of it depends on a news site's editorial control. Do your best to break free of your parents' news choices just to make sure you get all of the news. Then you'll be able to determine for yourself which sites really "deliver" content that you can trust.
