142 words

Media bias happens when news is reported in a way that makes one side look better than the other. In recent times, many people have noticed bias in news reports about politics and important issues. Some newspapers and TV channels favor one political party or opinion. For example, during the recent elections, some news stations only showed stories that were good for their favorite candidate. This can influence how people think about the candidates. However, not all media is biased. Many journalists try to report the facts without any bias. They present different sides of a story to help people understand better. It is important to check different news sources to see all points of view. By doing this, we can make more informed decisions. Remember, critical thinking helps us to understand news better and see if it is fair or not.
