Answer 1

Internet media and broadcast television both have the potential for bias, but in different ways. Internet media is more likely biased because there is no regulatory body overseeing content, allowing producers and creators to publish unchecked information. On the other hand, broadcast television is regulated by the FCC, which sets standards for fairness and accuracy. However, broadcast television may still be influenced by the agendas of its owners or advertisers. Ultimately, both forms of media can be subject to bias, but the level and type of bias may differ.
