10/29 : Media bias
Guest: John King, Chief National Correspondent and anchor of CNN’s “Inside Politics"
 
What exactly is "the mainstream media" anyway? Does it even exist or is it just a convenient label for those who don't like news organizations.....where exactly is the bias in the news media, and are they driven by political agendas or business strategy?    More important, where is the line between reporting, analysis and opinion? How and why have these lines become blurred is an important topic to explore and to tie back to week one where the economic motivations of the media are analyzed.
