I’m sorry but how does that prove they are unbiased? Or let me rephrase, how does it make any of the news agencies biased for headlining one story over another? They are just targeting their audience.

 

inb4 fox news has the largest audience which means their headline is somehow better than another. Do you think everyone who watches fox news, is watching because they agree with what they say? Negative. A target audience isn’t always the ones that love you, *edited*ing people off will bring in listeners/watchers too. Besides, Fox isn’t the only group that targets it’s haters. Look at this article cnn posted earlier, the comments are polar opposite to the author’s viewpoint:

And while I’m on targeting audience’s, lets take a look at fox news’ “most read” article:

drama and extremism (bill oreily on one of the most extreme shows on the freaking planet) sells. The View hurts my head, actually most (extreme) feminists hurt my head.
