Bias Versus Corruption....

http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/24/150207.php

This blog piece does a very good job of deciphering bias from corruption.  Just like HIV is the precedent to AIDS, media bias is the beginning cancer that leads to media corruption.  As dramatic as my analogy is, the blogger, TRUE FOCUS, does a very thorough jobs of identifying each term and applying it to our own focus.  

True Focus first starts by explaining that regardless of how one tries, their own bias is going to be presented.  Whether it is their writing style or their own vocal presentation, a bias is going to be presented by the deliverer.  Whether it is what their industry or what the public demands, the reporter will release what is necessary with demanded attitude and position.

What has bias evolve into corruption is when the competition for success and demand has the reported news be filled with unreliable sources and facts which the unknowing public believes.  There is no protection from bias or good will. Rather, it is gossip meant to be presented as gospel.  

Though the blog is short, I cannot help but agree.  However, with further research, I wonder I can be swayed.
