The real reason for media bias

Consumers are increasingly able to curate the news content they receive, placing a new importance on the political slant of media outlets. In this video, Chicago Booth's Matthew Gentzkow discusses what really determines media bias, and how this bias might impact the way public opinions diverge.

His assertion that CNN is "in the middle" makes it difficult to lend him any credibility.

Extraordinary that one would classify CNN anywhere near the middle...

[someoneyouknow]

3:28 Uh... CNN, ABC, MSNBC, etc are definitely *not* "in the middle."
You'd think you'd know the difference between liberal propaganda and centrist/non-biased reporting _before_ lecturing us.

This video is a oversimplifying the Bias in the media... He fails to take into account the Level of influence of ownership and involvement of corporate media in dictating to what and how the stories are reported

[antonferiozzi]

The most bias is in the stories we dont hear

[thomasjefferson]

The reason for media bias? Answer: colleges and universities, where journalists go to get "educated".

This didn’t age well. Go check out project Veritas and see why

[Brandon-scvl]

[raymondprice]

Public Broadcasting is meaningless chit-chat and propaganda

This is rubbish - waste of 5 min

He’s only stating the obvious . The bias is real and I think rather complicated . I’m sure there are behind the scenes forces at work ; and I was hoping for an in depth analysis

How can you disconnect the economic influence from the industry owners? He States that the content is more influenced by the people's need for drama so whatever sells the most papers has more determination on what the content contains. To separate that from the motivation of the owner is trying to split the same hair. If their platform is presented with the guise of honest reporting and you make the statement that they are motivated by profit "whatever sells" your contradicting yourself. I find that intellectually conflicting.
