How we got here and the hiccups along the way

The initial study on media propaganda and politics was going to be conducted in this manner :

We had planned to gather about 25 students into a classroom and have them watch the same news story covered by a more conservative channel and a more liberal channel one after the other, then to get in groups to discuss if they detected any bias. After that, we would have them login online to take a survey with space at the end to divulge some of their own personal opinions and what the project is about.

Due to the issues of not having concise results and time management, we just sent out an online survey like many others along with some face to face interviews primarily from our roommates and nearby housing residences on campus to record responses. The main catch to this study was to try and have as little bias as possible so we had to edit questions carefully. It would be hypocritical or ironic for us not to.
