Effects of Media BiasThis is the main problem with media bias. It changes the minds and opinions of people by changing a story or not telling all of it.

The image below shows how media bias works and the power the media has over the influence of people. It also hows how stories can easily be flipped and changed to whatever the media wants.
There are many examples of the effects of media bias. A major one appeared in the presidential election of 2016 ( more information on the election in the "Today" tab) But the main idea is that websites and news networks are not telling the whole truth or changing the story to effect the opinions of the general public to there democratic or republican views. Media bias is a very bad thing because the power of the media can influence the opinions of the general pubic to match their views and opinions.
This effects the public by changing the opinions of the public to vote against trump because of adding bad extra stories on trump and ignoring Hillary Clinton's bad stories that might push voters against her. Such as CNN who did this.
The image above shows an accurate depiction of different news networks and websites and how useful they might be to you and the new you watch. In my opinion this is a very helpful graph.
