Media bias in general seems to be a reoccurring problem in today’s day and age,but in general liberal media bias seems to be a bigger problem. This problem started during the 1950’s when conservatives were winning in most elections. The liberals didn’t know what to do so they resorted to media bias. This bias allowed JFK to be elected after President Richard Nixon,who was a good president, for other than the watergate scandal.
