今日はニュース報道が偏っているかどうかがテーマ
何事にも一定の価値判断が求められるため、常に中立の報道はできないですよね。
あったとしても、それは事実の伝達であり、無味乾燥なものになりそう。

トランプ大統領就任以降、Fake Newsという言葉が一般化しましたが、
最近のロシアの偏見報道には、嫌気がさします。
ロシアの国営報道で抗議の意思を示した女性は本当に素晴らしいと思います👏

Q:Is current news coverage in the world objective or biased?

A: サンプルエッセー（賛成）

The media is often accused of bias for or against a particular ideology or a political party. In some countries, derogatory statements about any race or religion are considered hate speech. Under these circumstances, I think that current news coverage is biased for the following three reasons.

Firstly, the news media (※複数形) tend to support particular political parties, candidates, or ideologies. Political bias is common in midea coverage. For example, it’s well-known that Fox news is one of the most influential right-wing news outlets in the U.S., while CNN and the New York Times are left-centered in story selection or political affiliation.

Secondly, news outlets’ sensationalism to increase audience ratings is rampant in media coverage. Stories and events on the media are deliberately overhyped to increase viewership or readership. This is mainly because higher audience ratings can attract more advertisers to run their ads on the media, which will increase advertising revenue for media companies.

Finally, news coverage is often manipulated by the govenment around the world. In countries like Russia, China, and North Korea, the government controls the media through overt and covert press censorship. Biased and censored news reporting will seriously undermine objective journalism and media integrity.

In conclusion, for these three reasons, the political bias in news coverage, sensationalism, and government media manipulation, I think that current news coverage is biased.
