Yes, this has been my experience of American media coverage of political stories: so many news organizations have ideological or political goals that I have come to expect biased reporting. This problem is especially problematic (in my opinion) in America where large sums are spent and entire (political, financial, and personal) fortunes hinged on the ability to successfully convey a (biased) message (Of course, special mention goes out to Russia, China & Co., but I would argue that the problem there is largely one of state propaganda). Here in Kenya, these problems are of a different nature: there are no popular ideological camps or political narratives. Our politics are personality and ethnic-driven. Only recently have American evangelical organizations begun to polarize public sentiment and journalism around issues such gay rights and abortion. In addition, the moneyed interests of the private sector have deployed relatively large war chests with the purpose of controlling media organizations and their messaging, especially to convince the electorate that next year's general elections are apocalyptic. On a side note, in many respects, the rhetoric of this year's American election (while having, for example, real consequences for relations between minority communities and government services such as policing) pales in comparison to the impact of negative rhetoric in countries such as mine (often, all it takes to ignite physical confrontations is inflammatory content; sadly, people here go all in on these sort of things) which is why I have a burning desire to find something that I can relate to. Libertarianism's pro-immigration was my first point of contact and was immediately endearing. I identify with minorities that suffer as a result of racist nativism. However, I am still a little confused as to why exactly libertarians are still unable to shake off the accusation of racism [0]. These accusations can make this ideology seem rather unpalatable: I really need to understand. Pointers? [0] This from Salon.com (I know, not exactly neutral arbiters, but still...)
