| I think though that's a different element all together. Bias in my book would be the way an event gets spun in order to score a political point. Making up crap, forging documents, etc. is fraud...not bias. The reporting of the document would be a question of truth or not. The interpretation of the event (if true) would be where the bias comes in. The Bush documents scandal was more of a case of yellow journalism....not bias.
Media bias is more defined by which events get covered (and which do not) and how the event is actually reported. |
