Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The news media are telling the public what to think about by selecting certain news topics to cover (agenda setting), emphasizing certain aspects of those topics (priming), and presenting them in a certain way (framing). The media are not necessarily trying to dictate what the public should think or hold politicians accountable, and whether or not they provide a neutral source of information is subjective. The statement about liberal bias is also a subjective view and not universally accepted.
