During my selection process, I wanted to choose a source that would be both well-known\/familiar to me and also something I had cited in the past. I&#8217;ve used Forbes multiple times but always questioned its reliability\/credibility as well as its political bias. In my research, I discovered that Forbes has a reliability rating of 43.74 (strong and in the green zone) and tends to have pretty balanced media bias overall with a rating of -3.04 (leaning slightly left). I would say that this data does not really surprise me as any time I&#8217;ve used an article from Forbes in the past, I&#8217;ve never noticed any obvious political bias, and seeing as the audience size of the source is approximately 57 million, it&#8217;s clear that this is a very credible\/reliable source to cite. I think that in the future I&#8217;ll definitely feel secure\/reliable about using Forbes, and I&#8217;m glad that the research I did was able to show positive results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my media bias analysis, I decided to choose Forbes.
