This all depends on what true journalism is to each person. It definitely changes the perspective of the average viewer. For example, if the only news one could get was from a daily or weekly newspaper, then the news would be most relevant to them. If they were to watch FoxNews or CNN all day, some of the news would be relevant, some would be important, and some would just be entertaining. This changes perspective by altering the amount of information given to the viewer to boost ratings for the particular station. Entertaining stories are thus placed into the newsroom in order to fill time and further boost ratings. True journalism is just the reporting of news. It is up to the reader to say what is newsworthy.

Is it true that Fox news has right-wing bias?

Oh, yes. Very.


What are the MSNBC ratings By host?

First, it is a myth that "MSNBC has low ratings" or that "nobody watches them." The center-left network actually has a devoted niche audience, which watches them consistently. But it is also true that conservative network Fox News dominates the ratings, beating MSNBC, CNN, and most other news channels, by wide margins. (And it is also true that the traditional networks-- NBC, CBS, and ABC, have far more viewers to their evening newscasts than Fox News does.) That said, ratings for MSNBC vary. Their most popular host is Rachel Maddow, who gets the best ratings on the station; there are certain times when she has even tied Fox News. Lawrence O'Donnell generally comes in a close second to Rachel. Depending on what is happening in the news in a given week, MSNBC often finishes second to Fox, beating CNN. To get the latest ratings, which change week by week, I recommend going to the site TV Newser.com. I enclose a link.

Does fox news lie?

Fox News is a subsidiary of News Corps and was created as a Rightwing Propaganda Network. It is owned and operated by Rupert Murdoch, who, until recently has never been responsible for his actions. News Corps actively admits that they are NOT a news organization, but are what is known as a Tabloid News Organization. In other words they contend that they never told anyone that anything they said was factual but was "created for the sake of entertainment", not as a news source. Roger Aisles has had to openly admit that he lies constantly.A slightly more unbiased answer: I'd be interested to know where the author of the answer above gets his/her data. Although a staunch conservative, I have yet to see where a flat out lie has been told by Fox News or even by the other news networks. I still watch the other Cable News Network and the major news networks to see what their reporting is like. I believe that one gets the idea that a news organization lies based on personal bias and belief systems. No news organization is without bias, it is natural for people to have an opinion.(FOX News doesn't tell flat-out lies? Sorry, but a major fact-checking organization disagrees with you. PunditFact, a fact-checking arm of the Tampa Bay Times, has compiled a list of 50 outright lies told by FOX News and its associates. I'm not allowed to post the link here (WHY NOT?), but if you go to Google and search with 'PunditFact 50 Fox News Lies', the first returned search result is the one you need.)Fox News is the first news organization to implement a more conservative leaning perspective on topics of the day, which is completely against the mainstream media. So when people first watch it, it is like a foreign language to them. Many people are also surprised when they learn that our country is not a Democracy, but rather a Constitutional Republic. There is a difference and people think that I am lying when I tell them we are not a Democracy. Unfortunately, its simply the first time they have been told the real truth. Honest truth is sometimes the hardest pill to swallow when you've been spoon fed the opposite for so long. Left-leaning Liberal media bias can be traced back many decades, most especially during the Vietnam Conflict. And until Fox News appeared on the scene, all we knew was the left-leaning perspective from the major news networks. So it was shocking to people when they tuned up Fox News and heard another opinion. As time has gone on, the ratings of Fox News completely destroys the ratings of other networks because there is an alternative.In watching Fox News, I know when I hear a line that is not completely true, or it is biased. But rest assured, it is not a flat out lie, it is just their interpretation. For everyone, perspective is reality, and the perspective of Fox News is indeed conservative. I enjoy that perspective more than the other networks, but I respect the opinion of others to watch whatever they want to watch. Thinking that Fox News tells lies is simply an opinion. I don't believe that CNN or MSNBC tells lies, I simply believe that they are telling a story that they believe to be true, even if it isn't.

How does yellow journalism affects journalists and many people?

Yellow journalism is sensationalist. So, true journalists aren't affected by it. True journalists stick to the facts and let the readers decide rather than choosing the readers opinion. However, consumers love to read that kind of news since it usually speaks to the unusual or what they want to hear. Kind of like the tabloid magazines. Most readers don't believe this type of news. Other types of news that are close to yellow journalism are like the type of news spread on HLN and FoxNews. They are slanted in such a way as to hide certain facts to appeal to a narrow set of individuals. It's not true journalism, but it does affect the thought of the reader/viewer.

Why jouranalism is redundant because of new technology?

Journalism isn't redundant through new technology. Reporters will still need to be deployed 'in the field' to cover news stories. True - many stories are emailed by the public, but confirmation, and validity of the story still needs to be carried out by reporters.
