Geez, I wonder about how naive some people can be.
Bias isn't always blatant, it won't always jump up and bite you which unfortunately the only way some would recognize it.
Its not always what you say, it's often what you don't say. Write an article, only show one side of a story and you are likely showing bias. Only let one side present their "sympathetic" side, its bias.
When the article only had this about human rights:
Asked if protests were illegal in the new Iraq, he told reporters: "There are no human rights under the Americans. Nothing. It is all empty talk."
"We miss the days of Saddam," said Iraqi policeman Mohammed Shawki.
it was bias. To someone not familiar with the "human rights" situation prior to the US invasion, human rights under Saddam, you would be left with the impression that human rights were good then, bad now.
How many of you really think this is the fact????
Detecting bias is often a matter of comparing inclusion against exclusion.
Lucky bias dont bite, a lot of people would be getting some painful surprises.
