I came across the linked ‘How To’ on ‘How to Recognize Bias in a Newspaper’ (See Link)
The steps include:
1) Take Notes
2) Research the Source
3) Look for Buzzwords
4) Is there something missing
5) Could the same article be re-written with a different slant
6) Are there labels applied by the author
Et Cetra
I am not sure we will all look as closely to our news as the How To suggests, but a little awareness of News Bias can only help us truth seekers find the truth.
Come across some good news bias lately. Post a comment and we’ll discuss.
