"It is not easy to make the redistricting process understandable -- and near-miraculous to be able to do so in a highly entertaining way. But that is just what The Redistricting Game does, to the gratitude of all who want Americans to understand how this process is working, and why it needs real reform."

- Norm Ornstein, American Enterprise Institute

"The polarization and poisonous atmo-sphere that have infected the House of Representatives for the past two decades or more can be traced -- in large part -- to the manner in which district lines are drawn in most states."

Since citizens cannot cast informed votes or make knowledgeable decisions on matters of public policy if the information on which they depend is distorted, it is vital to American democracy that television news and other media be fair and unbiased.

In a recent Gallup Poll the majority of Americans believe that the mass media slant reports in favor of the liberal position on current issues. ()
[The bias] is not the result of a vast left-wing conspiracy - [there is] an unconscious "groupthink" mentality that taints news coverage and allows only one side of a debate to receive a fair hearing. When that happens, the truth suffers.

A reporter's job is to present a balanced story. As you read, listen to and watch the news, you may notice stories that you think are biased. To see if they really are biased, you need to determine if the story falls into at least one of the several forms in which bias occurs.
The above information is excerpted and adapted from How to Identify Liberal Media Bias by Brent H. Baker, Vice President for Research and Publications at Media Research Center.
To accurately identify different types of bias, you should be aware of the issues of the day, and the liberal and conservative perspectives on each issue.
(See our chart " Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs ")

New Zealand General Election 2023 October 14

You might not have heard of the Heritage Foundation, an ultra-right US think tank that has evolved into a policy arm of the Republican Party, influencing its shift to more hardline conservative positions in recent decades. Its Index on Economic Freedom, an annual appraisal of 184 national economies, applauds those that are most friendly to business, especially concerning tax codes. In other words, the most right-wing economies ...

The Death penalty and the Authoritarian Personality

Robert Dunham, Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington DC, discusses with Wayne Brittenden the ethical and legal situation of capital punishment globally - but particularly in the US, which is the only western democracy that - at least in 29 states - can still execute its citizens.

Green Parties - What's their future?

Are the Green Parties doing too little too late? Have they shrunk from telling the voters the full extent of the bad news because it's electorally unappealling? Or has their time come at last? The former leader of the Green Party of Malta, Harry Vassallo, has a background with green politics in the European Union.

Also a human rights and animal rights lawyer , he's well qualified to give us a Green overview and to answer key questions: Was it a mistake for the Greens to engage in the parliamentary process, rather than to remain apolitical activists lobbying all parties for the urgent changes that are long overdue? Might this have been a more successful means of giving the public the unvarnished ecological truths?
