As many of you know already, I am following the historical senate race in st paul, involving 4 hmong candidates. Towards the beginning, I have noticed that Hmong newspapers followed all of the candidates. As of late, I noticed there has been overwhelming bias in their reporting. Has the newspaper endorsed a specific candidate? Or, are they portraying a personal opinion? I don't think it is right to report the news when you don't report all the news... If they have prior notice from a candidate or their campaign to not write about them, then what is being done has justification. But, when I attend events where all candidates are present, and the Hmong newspapers only report one candidate, then I don't think their "news" is real news....

Welcome to the real world of journalism. Why do you think Foxnews is doing so well? They report the other side to the stories.

Why did it take you so long to notice? Now that your eyes are opened, doubt everything. |

Journalism takes the attitude that the owners of the news stations dictate "what's fit to print or broadcast." Guess what that allows them to do. Sometimes it's also because of lack of proper research. And sometimes it's because of inadequate reporting. But most of the times it's what they deem to be fit.

I guess I was too optimistic... I expected better from the Hmong media... guess I was wrong... |

One have to watch all the news media to get a good understanding of the event, even outside U.S. sources. Can't rely on Fox, CNN, etc. they're all bias and have an agenda to push to the public. |

A link within your link. http://www.mrc.org/biasalert/2010/20100727085003.aspxI do however agree that the media is biased and pushing some agenda. Some Wikileak reports that i have red, however insignifcant, will still do damage regardless. |
