Classifying information has been a big issue over the years. Especially when it comes down to democracy. Democracy is basically discovered on the standard that the ethical authority of government comes from the agreement of the governed. That consent is not mainly that meaningful, in fact, unless it is knowledgeable, when government decides to make some decisions that are done in secret, chance for corruption really goes up and government's responsibility to the people goes down.

Casey Anthony was portrayed by the defense and much of the media as a cold-hearted mom capable of killing her 2-year old daughter so she could return to a life of partying. The defense characterized Casey as a young woman with a history of incest who reacted to the accidental death of her daughter as if it was an incestuous family secret that needed to be covered up. Although the truth may never be known, Casey's behavior seems most consistent with the latter characterization and is therefore nothing more sensational than a young woman traumatized by incest and thrust into a situation she was psychologically unprepared to cope with.

The network bills itself as "Fair and balanced," but there are times when this tagline seems less than an actual description of the network and more of a cruel joke. Regardless of one's political leanings, even a cursory glance at Fox News' products, whether on television or the Internet, suggests that contrary to its tagline, the network is anything but balanced. Instead, Fox News demonstrates a conservative bias, and because this bias is so contrary to the stated position of the network, it positively demands analysis and discussion. By examining Fox News' output in conjunction with relevant research on the topic, it becomes clear that not only is Fox News conservatively biased in its editorial and manifest content, but also that this bias has actually produced tangibly negative results for its viewers.
