Abstract

The unfair preference and reporting of a certain topic or viewpoint by the media may be characterised as media bias. For example, we may observe a bias in the media's coverage of certain stories or events in the news, social media platforms like Facebook, and entertainment, such as movies and television. In the modern day, media sources are notorious for reporting news in a biassed manner, which may influence the opinions of news consumers and change their behaviour. As a result, it's critical to keep tabs on the news for signs of bias and provide a platform where consumers can get clear and unbiased news reports.
