English term or phrase: media bias
Definition from thisnation.com:
Occurs when the media (individually or collectively) reports something that is inaccurate or one-sided because of ideology, political favoritism, reliance on limited (not treating both sides equally), or other factors. Bias can show up in coverage (or lack thereof) or in the content and analysis of stories.

Example sentence(s):
  • It is almost impossible for any network or journalistic publication not to be accused of some media bias. Subtle things like word choice, time limits on programming, needs to have sponsors in order to run a business, and choice of sponsors may all be examples of media bias. wiseGEEK
  • Research into studies of media bias in the United States shows that Liberal experimenters tend to get results that say the media has a conservative bias, while conservatives experimenters tend to get results that say the media has a liberal bias, and those who do not identify themselves as either liberal or conservative get results indicating little bias, or mixed bias. Wikipedia
  • Nothing ratchets up the perennial debate over media bias like a presidential election. But as Tim Groeling, a political scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, observes, public discussions about media bias are often just “food fights,” with pundits and partisans throwing around anecdotes.

Example sentence(s):
  • यह कहना गलत है कि मीडिया पूर्वाग्रहों से परे है। हर अखबार का अपना एजेंडा है। कई का अलिखित एजेंडा भी है। उन्होंने कहा कि आज अखबारों की पहुँच 20 करोड़ लोगों तक है। वह जनमत बना रहा है और इस तरह के सर्वेक्षण करा रहा है, जिसमें प्रश्न भी पूर्वाग्रह से ग्रस्त होकर पूछे जा रहे हैं। - webdunia news

माध्‍यमोंका पूर्वाग्रह


Definition from lokmanch:
आजके जमाने में "माध्‍यमोंका पूर्वाग्रह" सभी के लिए एक चिंता का विषय बन गया है।
इसीलिए कहा है सा विद्या या विमुक्तये। अर्थात विद्या व्यक्ति को उसके जीवन में व्याप्त "दूषित पूर्वाग्रहों" से मुक्त करती है।

Example sentence(s):
  • ...needs to have sponsors in order to run a business, and choice of sponsors may all be examples of media bias. व्‍यापार चलाने के लिए प्रायोजकों की जरूरत होती है ओर प्रायोजकों का चयन ही अपने आप में “माध्‍यमोंके पूर्वाग्रहों” के उत्तम उदाहरण हो सकते है। - Glossary-building KudoZ  
  • ...Liberal experimenters tend to get results that say the media has a conservative bias, while conservatives experimenters tend to get results that say the media has a liberal bias... लिबरल की परख में कॉन्‍झरवेटीव के प्रती माध्‍यमोंके पूर्वाग्रहों को देखा गया वहीं कॉन्‍झरवेटीव की परख में लिबरल के प्रती माध्‍यमोंके पूर्वाग्रहों को देखा गया है। - Glossary-building KudoZ  
  • ...a political scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, observes, public discussions about media bias are often just “food fights,” लॉस एंजल्‍स कॅलिफोर्निया के राजकिय विश्लेषक का मानना है, की आम लोगो की दृष्‍टी में “माध्‍यमोंके पूर्वाग्रह” केवल एक “रोटी का झगड़ा” होते है। - Glossary-building KudoZ  

Explanation:
हालाँकि आरटीपुष्‍पा जी नें मीडिया पूर्वाग्रह का विकल्प दिया है। लेकिन मीडिया के लिए माध्यम शब्द शासन तथा सामान्य स्तर पर प्रयोग किया जाता है। इस लिए इसे अलग से दिया है!

No  dsrivastava: Although the word 'madhyam' is often used for 'media', the term 'media' clearly conveys the meaning more accurately

  -> You agree that madhym is often used for media, and still you are not agree to its use here. Well then better suggest transliteration of Bias too. caz. it conveys exact meaning of itself.
