The variation of types of people in the world causes a difference in opinions and perspectives around the world about political issues and problems. For example, different religions, standards of living, emotional levels, environments, ages, races, and different cultures can cause various political views. In “The Influence of Neighbors” Ryan Enos says that, “the space you live in and who is around you could affect your political behavior “It’s not just where people live, it’s who else lives there with them.” Enos is saying that people’s daily decisions are affected by their surroundings, and both the environment and other people can influence each other’s opinions and perspectives. But people still need a source that supports their views. Network News is the source where people get their knowledge about different political or social or environmental issues. Therefore, the images that network news shows about an issue will affect people’s opinions and points of view because the news will show the people by reporting who to blame and who is good or bad.

Misrepresentation is misleading the truth of something; in other words, it is when a wrong or distorted image is shown to the world. Misrepresentation in network news is sometimes done for a purpose because the news wants to reach their goal by demonstrating those misrepresented images. Therefore, the news is shaping people’s minds in an indirect way by feeding people false images. Misrepresentation in the news can affect some people that are being misrepresented by the network news. For example, the report cover the terrorist acts are being done by ISIS. (ISIS) “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria." Therefore, this gives people who do not know the truth a wrong image about Islam because all of Islam is being represented as a religion that is all about killing innocent people and terrorism. Also, the terrorist act of 9/11 was described in the news as an act by Islam. As a result, the report misleads the audience to think that all Muslims are terrorists, and people’s knowledge was all based on bias and misrepresentation images by network news. Also, this can affect some people in a direct way; for instance, the increase of hates crimes after the incident of 9/11. According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports program. In “Anti-Muslim hate crimes are still five times more common today than before 9/11” Christopher Ingraham states that ” Prior to the 9/11 attacks, the program

The book Bias written by Bernard Goldberg explains how the liberal media distorts actual news and as a result impacts society negatively. Goldberg joined CBS News in 1972 and retired 28 years later, in 2000. Goldberg describes the distortion in present day due to no diversity of opinion in the newsroom, so no matter how many news executives go on about diversity, about ethnic, and racial diversity and how much they say we need that to go out the full story about things, they don’t seem to care much about intellectual diversity or diversity of opinions. This is why journalist can bash on a certain side or cheer the other side and wont fear about what will happen. Goldberg views Conservative news as evil and liberal media as right.

Society expect to be constantly entertained; they have become so concerned with things such as who the latest star is dating, scandals, or dumb people doing rather idiotic things. Much of society have been consumed in their personal instant gratification and what makes them “happy”. When on an off chance that news does show things that are serious and impactful(not necessarily positive things that is happening in the world) people have become so numb that the best they could do is feel sympathetic and at worst continue on with their day. The other part of the problem is that those behind what is being published and shown on the news media have been absorbed in their avarice nature, whatever allows them to make as much profit they do. “Writing thousands of hours of coverage from what could have been summarized in a couple of minutes every few weeks, a new rhetorical strategy was developed, or-let’s be generous-evolved”(6), Saunders describes the new formula formed by mass news firms that would yield the most profit.

The theoretical framework of this thesis is based on agenda setting theory and the concept of framing. Walter Lippmann intellectually founded the concept of agenda setting. Even though Lippmann not yet mentions agenda setting namely, he does indeed elaborate the theoretical foundation and the general ideas, which essentially define agenda setting theories today (McCombs 2004, 3). “His thesis is that the news media, our windows to the vast world beyond direct experience, determine our cognitive maps of that world” (McCombs 2004, 3).

Media bias is a real problem. When people are not aware of the facts alone, rather interpretation of facts, they are being manipulated. Media should report facts concisely and promptly with as much accurate information as possible. When networks allow to dictate how they report news, there is a much greater chance to be biased. When networks accept monetary incentives to report in a specific manner, there is a much greater chance to be biased.

In the study of mass communication, Framing is defined as “selecting and highlighting some facets of events or issues and making connections among them so as to promote a particular interpretation, evaluation, and/or solution” (Entman, 2004, p. 5). According to the University of Twente, its core assumption is that the media has the capacity to select and give salience to aspects of an event or issue. Framing, therefore, is a cognitive bias in which the same issue is assessed differently depending on how the information about it is presented. By this, the public develop a certain perspectives, concepts, orientation, or even stereotypes, of the issue. In general, framing emphasizes particular interests that shape public opinion.
