The Detroit News

My group had to research newspapers both local and national and see if there is any biases in these newspapers. I had the Detroit News in October 15, 2008 and after reading and examining the newspaper i found a liberal bias in the newspaper. There are many articles about politics since there is only one week left until the election takes place. I found 8 articles that deal with the election and 3 out of the 8 dealt with the presidential election. Out of the 3, two of the articles attacked McCain and his proposals. The third article was about Obama and what he will do for the economy. No criticism was given about Obama in this article. The other articles dealt with the in state elections which really praise the Democratic candidates in all the races. One article is about the Oakland County prosecutor race and it said that this once large republican county is now leaning towards the Democratic candidate. The other articles says that the Republican incumbants are in danger of losing there seats in the House. In the economy section President Bush and the Republican party were called out on the bad economy. While Jennifer Granholm the Governor of Michigan and a Democrat was praised for her involvement in giving companies tax breaks for investing and making jobs in Michigan.
There are 4 other groups that will examine if there is any biases in the media. The categories are magazines, internet, television, and the radio.
