Honestly, the dem proposed improving funding, cutting rates, and remove underperforming private school.. the right is remove repayment plans, keep under performing schools open, and reduce options for repayment. The only options with positive spin is charter schools and expanding apprenticeships...which I don't even know if it's under education. But, charter have a negative side too

Whenever I want to talk on camera, the media shoos me away. The media becomes bias to me.

I think we already know how they treat more controversial issues.

I think we know how they cover more controversial issues already.

First and foremost, WSJ and USA Today are quality sources with nearly NO bias. Hence the reason why they have more neutral and varying headlines, regardless of administration.
The other 2 NYT and WP are rated as having a slight liberal bias. So this does not surprise me, and these 4 publishers do NOT monopolize the media industry, so I wonder why these specific 4 were chosen?
Also, although there is bias and unbiased sources, the fact remains that both the secretaries of Ed in both administrations are very different and have very different educational philosophies and thus will be covered differently.

Yes media coverage is definitely biased.

Does Fox news not count as a Mainsteam News Source?

Being negative most of the time towards the rights proposals on education is not bias. In education the left will always propose to spend more on education so their changes and proposed change will ALWAYS be on the side of improving education for all, and spending to improve access to education for all.

Thats fact. If a reporter on education were to report that the rights budget cuts to education would improve education that would be FAKE NEWS! Now that may be different for an economics editor or reporter and it may be for the greater good.

But saying that negative reporting means bias is embarrassing.

Thats like reading all the articles written about hitler, seeing that they are 98% negative and showing this as catagorical proof that the media is bias.

#Facts: These News Network especially ones like @MSNBC aka MSDNC shouldn’t be taking sides when it comes to supporting any party. The News Outlets should be reporting news for the American 🇺🇸 people and not be shielding and protecting @POTUS Sleepy 😴 Joe and the Establishment.

Geez, it's almost like Betsy Devos and her ideas for "reform" are universally hated.

There's much in mainstream media, at least here in the U.K., that ensures that there is no bias. Fact checking and what not. It's regulated, so I don't really believe the bias thing at all.

[dangerouslytalented]

It’s not bias if one side is objectively bad and being covered that way.

[yootoobnewbie]

AEI asking for no bias... Maybe proposals under democrat led governments are just better?

Please stop pretending that you are an Independent Media. Cause you organisation stated itself as a “Conservative Think Tank”. My point is there is no such thing as a non-biased media as long as you are alive you will have an opinion and a stand.
It is immature and naive for people to look at one institution and think that they are non-biased. The only way to achieve non-biased is to have people of different views to speak their mind out. Which is something this media platform failed to do, since the experts professors are mainly conservative standing.
Yes you do not support a particular party, agreed. But it’s clear that you have a particular ideology in mind.
Thanks for responding.
