the real media bias

which makes it strange considering nearly 95% of all media is owned by five major corporations who's main purpose is to make a profit, yet, a whole lot of people tell us the media is biased, meaning these corporations are undermining their own purpose by alienating segments of their market, does that make sense given how we understand capitalism?

Which is exactly why Fox News has made the killing it has. Huge market segment that wasn't being served.
 
As has MSNBC, exactly the same, cable networks designed to appeal to a defined audience, shame is a lot of conservatives don't see the irony, always falling prey to demagogues

You're choosing to completely miss the big picture here. For decades we got our news from the three networks and PBS. There were no conservative voices. We had liberal voices speaking to us. Because of this liberal leaning focus it left the door wide open for Roger Ailes to exploit.

MSNBC has horrific ratings because liberals have so many other options.
