"Media bias is the bias or perceived bias of journalists and news producers within the mass media in the selection of events and stories that are reported and how they are covered. ... There are a number of national and international watchdog groups that report on bias in the media."
Example: I Googled the Trump Thanksgiving message for unity, find a web site, watch the video, then scroll down to see a negative story about Ivanka. The media is "doing their job" reporting the "news." In doing it th way they do it, the message is biased.
Why could the media this one time, when we need healing, when we need to rebuild trust, tell the main story, and not seek to find the sensational angle to excite people in a negative way?
What is the rule about going positive, without "balancing" the positive with a negative?

Example:
This web site shows Donald Trump's excellent, MATURE Thanksgiving Day message for UNITY . . . America and unity. BUT the web site could not resist a parody of Hillary immediately following Trump's speech to HEAL and UNIFY America.

This ignorant web site / author adds this: "Hillary Clinton issued a pre-recorded *response*:" where the video asking herself why she is not 50 points ahead. Dumb. Biased to hurt both Hillary AND TRUMP.
We need healing folks, no more asinine attacks when NOT DESERVED.
Media and Trump opposition, stop planning to oppose President-elect Trump just because he won the election. Blocking Trump success hurts America.
Mindless opposition is immature and stupid, and looks to much like the do nothing Republican Conges 2008-2016.
Do not go there. You are crossing the line into STUPID.
Give Donald J. Trump his chance to perform, or YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BAD RESULTS.
Let DJT do his job, and let DJT be responsible for the results, good or bad!
Why is the press and media making it a surprise DJT is moderating his extreme postions.
What is this media panic, the giggling clamoring for "blood?"
To my dismay, DJT is still sending "tough-guy" (Trump is NOT a tough guy!) tweets.
However, DJT's overall message, except for Bannon, Juiliani, and Gingrich, is for unification of America.
Seek open-mindedness folks, it will benefit us all.
You want America to succeed don't you? Then help Trump succeed!
YOU WILL HURT YOUR CONTRY IF YOU ACT OUT CHILDLISLY.
Work on solutions, win-win for ALL AMERICANS.
MEDIA, YOU are f**king up things before DJT even gets in office!
Take President Obama's and Bernie Sanders lead AND WAIT AND SEE HOW Trump does.
Recent steps by Trump, except for silly Tweets, are acceptable!
Let DJT do his job, and let DJT be responsible for the results, good or bad!
Political campaign promise have always been tenuous, subject o revision after election.
WHY DO I SEE SO MUCH MEDIA CONCERN / COVERAGE ABOUT TRUMP MODIFYING HIS CAMPAIGN PRMISES.
WHY IS THE MEDIA ALMOST APOLOGETIC AND CRITICAL TRUMP IS NOT COMPLETELY DUMPING EVERY BIT OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT FOR 20,000,000 AMERICANS?
See my list . . .
Donald Trump is acting Presidential on this list, and doing the right things:
1. Forget prosecuting Hillary Clinton for a non-crime negligence re emails. She has suffered enough says Donald Trump, a humble and kind DJT.
2. Trump decided he will not need a Wall on every inch of the border with Mexico. In some places a fence will do. (And he knows American tax payers will foot the bill, so he needs a cheaper "Wall." We all win by his compromise, and his new found wisdom.)
3. Trump has learned torture by waterboarding is less effective than other techniques, so he accepts the military's word, a General's experience / advice to drop waterboarding for more effective techniques?
4. Trump ready to compromise on the Paris environment treaty. "Asked whether he plans to withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris climate accord, he said he is keeping “an open mind to it.”" Why not keep an open mind?!
5. Trump has appointed and nominated many people to high-level positions that vociferously criticized him after some of his uglier moments on a very ugly campaign trail.
Here is an example of American media idiocy. The BBC and European news is MUCH MORE OBJECTIVE and realistic in reporting on the now President-elect activities.
