Essay from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin (Englische Philologie), course: Writing Skills, language: English, abstract: We grow up in a culture where there is a strong expectation that news reporting should be objective and neutral. In reality, however, the most viewed news outlets, such as CNN and Fox, are also some of the most strongly distrusted (Digital News Report 2022). Media bias in news occurs when the journalist or news outlet tends to affect the reported news by supporting one point of view or political party. Some news agencies consistently use language that frames the incident in terms that implicitly or explicitly favor a certain interpretation and perception. News bias can manifest itself, for example, through word choice, framing of the story, omissions, the limiting of debate, and a biased selection of sources. This investigation aims to analyze two news articles covering the same incident regarding biases that may have been intertwined in the news.
