  1. The mainstream media has an incredible amount of power as they are the ones who bring current events to people's attention and influence the public's perspective on them, possibly altering their entire ideology in the process. Media bias - right OR left - is extremely dangerous and should be avoided within the main news networks at all costs. This is essential to keeping a well-informed and educated electorate that will vote for the candidates who make the most sense. The media of today doesn't just cover certain topics (i.e. Donald Trump) in a negative light or others (people speaking out on social issues) in a positive light, but they intentionally distort or leave out the facts of certain cases (Trump's speech about the protests in Charlottesville in which he condemned white supremacy); OR practice what is known as "selective reporting," where they cover certain stories (sometimes endlessly, such as George Floyd) but completely ignore others (such as Cannon Hinnant or David Dorn), only amending this when social pressure becomes too great. They are deeply dishonest and if we strive to create a populace that is well-educated on the issues our politicians are advocating, this should be priority #1 no matter which side of the political spectrum you fall on. And to be clear, I am not referring to networks such as MSNBC or Fox that openly admit to being partisan, but the ones who claim to be a non biased news source (most notably CNN, NBC, CBS, and yes, ABC News!!!).
