Partialité des médias[2] in the United States refers to the perceived or actual bias in how news and events are covered by media outlets in the country. This bias, which has historical roots, can be influenced by a range of factors, such as the personal beliefs of journalists, the profit-driven nature of media corporations, and the influence of advertisers and powerful sponsors. Over time, media bias has evolved and can now be seen in traditional print media, broadcast news, and médias sociaux[1] platforms. This bias can manifest itself in various ways, including through the misrepresentation of facts, sensationalism, and the skewing of news to cater to certain political ideologies. Importantly, perceptions of media bias can differ greatly among audiences, often along political lines. Media bias also extends to specific areas such as race and gender, affecting how certain stories and individuals are portrayed in the media.
Claims of media bias generally focus on the idea of les médias reporting news in a way that seems partisan. Other claims argue that outlets sometimes sacrifice objectivity in pursuit of growth or profits.
Some academics in fields like études des médias, journalism, communication, political science et économie have looked at bias of the news media in the United States as a component of their research. In addition to bias, academics and others also evaluate factors like media reliability and overall press freedom. Academic studies tend not to confirm a popular media narrative of liberal journalists producing a left-leaning media bias, though some studies suggest economic incentives may have that effect. Instead, the studies reviewed by S. Robert Lichter generally found the media to be a conservative force in politics.
Some recent polls show half (or more) of respondents expressing concern about media bias in the United States.
