THE FOLKS ARE LEARNIN' – AT 6:50 A.M. ET:  You mean there's media bias?  You mean voters actually notice?  Yeah, it's the truth.  From the Washington Examiner:

Media bias is a bigger problem than high dollar donations for 2016 likely voters focused on the presidential election, according to a new national survey.

Rasmussen Reports found that when asked "Which is the bigger problem in politics today," voters picked media bias over money, 47 percent to 45 percent.

What's more, the survey found that voters believe that the media has too much power in politics. Some 66 percent said it was too powerful, compared to just 26 percent who said the media wielded just enough influence in the election.

"Middle-aged voters tend to believe more strongly than other voters that the media have too much influence over elections," said the poll analysis.

Voters do generally agree that rich Americans and wealthy special interests also have too much power in politics, said Rasmussen.

COMMENT:  When we say "media bias" we generally mean left-wing bias.  Rasmussen says, "Voters are far more likely to think the media is biased against Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump than against his chief Democratic rival Hillary Clinton." 

I think one of the reasons for the success of Fox News is that it gives Republicans and conservatives a fair shot.

I don't know if media bias can be cured, since most reporters come from colleges that teach that liberalism is mainstream and that conservatism is the voice of the Devil.
