What is the right way to write this sentence. Do the media tend to be biased in certain instances? or Does the media tend to be biased in certain instances?:?:

"Media" is plural therefore, "Do" is correct, but in the U. S. it has been my experience that most often you will hear "Does the media....." or a singular form of the verb with "media".
