Page "Media bias" Paragraph 82

Many media theorists concerned with language and media bias point towards the media of the United States, a large country where English is spoken by the vast majority of the population.

Some theorists argue that the common language is not homogenizing ; and that there still remain strong differences expressed within the mass media.

This viewpoint asserts that moderate views are bolstered by drawing influences from the extremes of the political spectrum.

In the United States, the national news therefore contributes to a sense of cohesion within the society, proceeding from a similarly informed population.

According to this model, most views within society are freely expressed, and the mass media are accountable to the people and tends to reflect the spectrum of opinion.
