Summary
Is the media actually biased? Or do we just think it is? In this episode of UnSpun , DrSturg examines decades of research on media bias, political polarization, cable news and the psychology of news consumption. From Fox News and CNN to newspapers, social media and more, she explores what researchers have found about bias in news coverage and how people on opposite sides of an issue can see the same story completely differently. Do the politicians yelling #FakeNews have a point? Find out in this week's UnSpun. **Check out DrSturg on Bluesky **DrSturg wrote a book that makes YOU smarter about the news with information and exercises taken from real news stories.
