Reducing media bias through regulation ¦ Vox [del.icio.us]
2009-09-18 14:22:00 [W]e show how advertising can seriously interfere with the quality, accuracy, and breadth of content and programming in the media (Ellman and Germano 2009). Biased content is most likely when competition amongst media outlets is limited or when advertisers are large and can threaten to withdraw their advertising business from the media. The analysis extends to media dependence on any business or state actors that can substantially affect media company profits. Analysing the delicate interaction between advertisers, financiers, media outlets, and media audiences within a two-sided markets framework generates new insights for policymakers. Our work points to the need for independent media and makes the case for promoting competition and public funding.

ESPN: No Oakland Raiders Bias - NFL Draft Notes
2009-04-27 16:41:00 More at Zennie62.com | Follow me on Twitter! My long-time friend Richard Lieberman is prone to hyberbole and god-love him, this is one of those moments. The San Francisco Chronicle blogger may have made some hay by charging ESPN with a "bias" against the Oakland Raiders, but where I am in New York, and where I was at Radio City Music Hall for the NFL Draft, the notion was quickly put to rest. I'm going to spend about as much time on this as ESPN did, but the bottom line is a lot of people didn't like the Raiders draft, almost from top-to-bottom. I was editing videos in the Interview Room when I overherd NFL Network's Pat Kirwan, and Clark Judge of CBS Sports doing a take for NFL Network, and both were almost laughably derisive of the Raiders decision to take Darrius Heywood-Bay, who's the third ranked receiver in the draft over Michael Crabtree who was picked in an almost regional slap-in-your-face move by the cross-bay San Francisco 49ers. The pr...

His second book, Wormwood, sold 22,000 copies in one day.Yet the author claims that invitations for appearances on the BBC stopped once producers found out he was a Christian. ?I had good relations with them until they realised that there were religious allegories in my stories,? he told The Sunday Telegraph. ?Once they had decided that I was promoting Christianity in my books I found the door firmly shut.? Mr Taylor said his faith meant that he was not welcome on children?s programmes like Blue Peter. He said: ?A BBC producer told me ?off the record? that it was a matter of my faith and the fact that I was an Anglican priest. ?We can?t be seen to be promoting Jesus?, he said with a laugh.?A spokesman for the BBC denied ...

Keith Olbermann's Bias Against The Military Is Showing
2008-05-24 05:57:00 So I'm on the eliptical machine at the gym and low and behold my favorite idiot comes onto the tv. Unfortunately, I don't have any control over the channel, so I just pop my ipod on and read the subtitles in case he says something stupid.While his condemnation of Hillary's "RFK assassination" comments were fairly accurate, I have noticed one thing; liberal politicians aren't on his "worst person in the world" commentary. He lambasts a General at Guantanamo Bay for basically saying that the inmates there aren't tortured and they basically live like they are in a frat house, and he's one of the "worst people in the world". Yet, Hillary gets much more of Keith's time and she's not the "worst person in the world" or even in the top 3.What's worse is that I've now noticed (maybe I'm a bit slow here), that military officials are constantly on this list, but liberal politicians aren't. That's not journalism Keith. That's showing favoritism. ...
