Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Define political socialization as the education process by which citizens acquire political beliefs, attitudes, and values.
2. Explain that while the media themselves are factors in the political socialization process, our political beliefs and values provide a lens through which we filter our perceptions of the media and the content they deliver.
3. Illustrate the point by drawing upon the example in the text of how a Republican from Arizona might see bias in the "liberal eastern networks" (or some other relevant example).
