media questions

Do you think ours is a baised or an objective media? Is there truly an unbiased / objective way of reporting?

I do hope that broadcast media (particularly tv news programs) dont editorialize the news. I hate it when news anchors express their opinions on issues instead of just reporting the facts. Hello, it is a news program not an opinion show.

Can't help thinking this when ever i read or see TV news. Take the recent case of the cop who went amok in Aklan, killing 7 people including his superiors. Different angles are being floated on why the cop started shooting, from a death treat to problems at work. At least 4 different angles are being looked upon.

Here is my two-cent's worth... If the cop was a muslim... would the PNP be looking at the angle of terrorist or other similar acts and nothing else? Why does Philippine media always emphasize a person's religion if it is reporting on a a story about Muslims (as if all muslims are bad).
