The media landscape has become more and more hostile and partisan, and as a result, many believe that bias has never been stronger in terms of reporting. Seeking to shed some light on this topic, 4th estate compiled research to come up with a fairly clear answer. Separated by network and based on the reporting of the [2012 election candidates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-election-map), [the chart showed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marimekko-chart-maker) that bias existed, but that with the exception of but one network, the bias tends to be against Obama instead of in his favor. Putting numbers to a phenomenon that is widely argued and speculated, this chart is a good reminder that media may not be as centered or well-rounded as some believe it should be. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Media Bias:** Explore technology-driven solutions to eliminate bias from political coverage. - **Partisan Reporting:** Develop tools to detect and counteract partisan reporting by media outlets. - **Transparency in Journalism:** Promote transparency in journalism and engage audience through personalized and interactive news experience. ### Where This Applies - **Media:** The media industry can leverage AI, Machine Learning and Big Data to build unbiased and transparent political coverage. - **Technology:** Opportunities exist in using technology to develop tools to counteract partisan reportings and promote media transparency. - **Politics:** Politicians and political parties can leverage the power of media to connect with and engage the audience on issues that matter most. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Political Podcast Milestones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-rogan-hosted-former-president-trump.md) - [Bias Disruption Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newzentropy.md) - [Election Insights Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polymarket-election.md) - [Democratic Comparative News Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-edit-app.md) - [Decentralized News Aggregators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stringer-news.md) - [Government Tracking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gov-action-list.md) - [Voter Guide Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openballot.md) - [Engaging Political Update Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govside-app.md) - [Misinformation Detection Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conspiracy-hunter.md)
