While researching my media summative, I came acrosss this article about Anthony Weiner, a married, U.S representative, who sent a "scandalous" picture to a 21 year old college student. As I watched more videos and read more articles about this scandal, I realized the bias of some news reporters. At first when I was researching this story, my understanding, based on the biased information was that Anthony Weiner was a married U.S representative, who sent a revealing picture to a young college student and that he lied about his twitter being hacked and that the picture was his. Later, when I watched some other videos on t and the issue specifically these two: Daily Show with Jon Stewart and.., I was informed about the other side of the issue, and the ways that the news reporters identified the young women and made the photo seem more revealing than it was. I know that I already wrote about media bias especially in news reports, but this was a tangible example when I personally experienced the bias of news reporters and how easy it is to believe that the information is valid or unbiased.
