Example of Media Bias - Look at the Media Discussion of the Candidates Unfavorable Ratings

For example, the headline for this article and similar articles is:

Poll finds Clinton's popularity has reached record low

And the article starts out dwelling on Hillary's unfavorables. No discussion of policy. No discussion of Hillary's statements. Just a discussion of polls. Then, almost as an afterthought, the fact that Trump has worse favorable ratings is mentioned!

Shouldn't the headline be how poor Trump's favorables are? If you need a reason why the race is tightening, it is because of the constant media narrative that Hillary is a disliked and the focus on her e-mails while ignoring any discussion of issues or policy proposals.

As of Wednesday, though, Americans' views of her just hit a record low.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows 41 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of Clinton, while 56 percent have an unfavorable one.

Trump, of course, has long been the more unpopular of the two presidential nominees, and he remains so; 35 percent of Americans have a favorable impression of him, compared with 63 percent unfavorable.

But if you look just at registered voters, the new poll actually shows Clinton's image is about as bad as Trump's, with 38 percent having a favorable impression and 59 percent unfavorable, compared with a 37/60 split for Trump.
