English term or phrase: media bias
Definition from thisnation.com:
Occurs when the media (individually or collectively) reports something that is inaccurate or one-sided because of ideology, political favoritism, reliance on limited (not treating both sides equally), or other factors. Bias can show up in coverage (or lack thereof) or in the content and analysis of stories.

Example sentence(s):
  • It is almost impossible for any network or journalistic publication not to be accused of some media bias. Subtle things like word choice, time limits on programming, needs to have sponsors in order to run a business, and choice of sponsors may all be examples of media bias. wiseGEEK
  • Research into studies of media bias in the United States shows that Liberal experimenters tend to get results that say the media has a conservative bias, while conservatives experimenters tend to get results that say the media has a liberal bias, and those who do not identify themselves as either liberal or conservative get results indicating little bias, or mixed bias. Wikipedia
  • Nothing ratchets up the perennial debate over media bias like a presidential election. But as Tim Groeling, a political scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, observes, public discussions about media bias are often just “food fights,” with pundits and partisans throwing around anecdotes.

medievinkling, medievinkel


Definition from Kristeligt Dagblad:
"Selvhad", kaldte forfatteren Ole Hyltoft det med ét ord i Politiken forleden, og han har ret, der ædes her store lunser ud af den danske helhedskultur -- men selvom subkultur og særstandpunkt er blevet fremherskende, håber og tror man, at vinklingen blot er en medievinkling og ikke er dækkende for den almindelige holdning. Der er bare det aber dabei, at jo længere væk vi kommer fra besættelsen, desto mere undrende end just vidende bliver publikum.
