Question

Most sources contain biases, which are specific

slants or points of view. How can you determine a source's biases? Why is it important to

consider a source's biases?

Answer 1

It is reasonable to expect journalists to attempt to be unbiased concerning race, creed, religion, and sexual preferences. It is hard to imagine anyone without some significant biases. The foods we eat, the clothes we wear, the books we read, the shows we watch are all important to our outlook on life. To be unbiased requires a thorough understanding of our rational differences, but this is almost impossible in the very complex world we live in.
To judge a story, we should give some consideration to how the core audience might react to it.
If there is no opposing view to a report, it may not be adding anything to the discussion.
