Reply to "USA Presidential Poll"

I do not follow your logic about how mentioning talk radio makes me seem as a biased commentator.

Unlike 10 years ago and certainly unlike 20 years ago, people consume media from many more different platforms than was ever available in the past. People who form their opinions based on only a few media outlets that they exclusively pay attention to are at risk of having the same bias as the media outlet.

A perfect example was two days ago when George HW Bush Senior stated that he was going to vote for Hillary Clinton. I checked as best as I could and no former Republican president has ever announced that he would vote for the Democratic nominee. CNN, CNBC, ABC News, Reuters, BBC and CBC reported the story. On Fox, not a mention two days later.

Media bias can not only be presenting a position but ignoring a story.
