What is bias? Bias is when your opinion slips into a source What in the headline on CNN? The headline on cnn is Guilty of murder a fort hood shooter could face death. What is the top news story from the BBC? Fort Hood gunman Hasan convicted

What is the top news story on Aljazeera? U.S soldier sentenced Were the 3 stories all on the same topic? Why do you think that is? Yes; because thats is whats mainly happening today, murder!!!! What is bias by omission? Give an example. leaving one side out of an article, or a series of articles over a period of time; particular news outlet reports one set of events, but not another. What is bias by selection of sources? Give an example. when a reporter uses such phrases as “experts believe”, “observers say,” or “most people believe”. ; when a news story only presents one side, What is bias by story selection? Give an example. a pattern of highlighting news stories that coincide with the agenda of either the Left or the Right,; if a liberal group puts out a study proving a liberal point, What is bias by story placement? Give an example. a measure of how important the editor considers the story; observe where a newspaper places political stories. What is bias by labeling? Give an example The first is the tagging of conservative politicians and groups with extreme labels while leaving liberal politicians and groups unlabeled or with more mild labels, or vice versa. The second kind of bias by labeling occurs when a reporter not only fails to identify a liberal as a liberal or a conservative as a conservative, but describes the person or group with positive labels, such as “an expert” or “independent consumer group”. If the “expert” is properly called a “conservative” or a “liberal” the news consumer can take that ideological slant into account when evaluating the accuracy of an assertion. . What is bias by spin? Give an example. Bias by spin occurs when the story has only one interpretation of an event or policy, to the exclusion of the other; spin involves tone – it’s a reporter’s subjective comments about objective facts; makes one side’s ideological perspective look better than another. To check if it’s spin, observe which interpretation of an event or policy a news story matches – the liberal or conservative.
