Answer 3

I don't believe that there is such of a thing as an unbiased person or unbiased news. If you are truely unbiased, then there is no you. Bias is part of being human and you can' t change that, however, you can imagine in your mind that you are unbiased. LOL. I tend to disagree that being biased is the opposite of critical thinking, however, there are some differences, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they are opposites.
