Document Summary
Bias when the media is not conforming to our political view. Just because you are presented with an idea you don"t agree with, it doesn"t make the person bias. Bias is something systematic, it is a pattern and a regular consistence of ignorance. To prove bias, it"s to show that you systematically ignore a fact. There are facts: media is guided by facts. Get the facts: we need the raw news. Critical of those in power: media is needed as a critical source, any outlet should be critical of wherever in a power. What is left and right: doesn"t mean you should accept everything. Left: innovation, okay with government control in the market, 100% intervention. Right: tradition, favour less government control in the market, 0% intervention, marx. Narrowing as we go we get more and more specific.
