Media Bias

What happens when national media trades objectivity for advocacy? In Singapore, LGBT coverage has shifted from observation to endorsement. By framing contested identities as settled truths, the press isn’t just informing what we think about, it’s reshaping how we think about it.

We watched Regardless of Sexuality with a healthy sense of optimism that CNA would produce a balanced piece that would critically examine the nature of the LGBT Divide in Singapore. Instead, what we found was a piece replete with emotionalism, displaying unabashed bias with key terms and a failure to examine the true drivers of tension with any sincerity.

Ellen Page now wants to be recognised as Elliot page. CNA reports the news in a decidedly one-sided way.
