  5. Examples of bias in mass media: Some Americans who supported the Nazis claimed the international media was controlled by Jews. There were also claims that reports of Jews being mistreated were biased and had no foundation.

  6. Examples of bias in mass media: During the civil rights movement, television and film media were accused of a bias that supported the mixing of the races. Some Southern stations refused to air shows with mixed casts, such as Star Trek and I Spy. http://andreakrobson.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/civil-rights-movement-1.jpg
