I actually learned, in PUBLIC SCHOOL, back in the sixties in grade school how to use my brain to interpret news stories.
I remember the example to this day from third grade. They gave the same story in two versions.
Version one:
Man breaks in to struggling family owned bakery, doing $150 (a lot of money back then, btw) damage to the shop window and stealing a loaf of bread. Police have the man in custody. The owner of the shop is distraught at the damage to his shop and hopes customers will be patient as the damage is repaired.
Version 2:
A man who had been unable to find work, and in a desperate need to feed his family, broke a window in a local bakery to gain access to a single loaf of bread needed to feed his starving family. The police have taken him from his family and put him in custody.
Both stories were biased. One for the owner and one for the thief.
With the lesson and discussion that followed, I learned in GRADE SCHOOL how to separate the wheat from the chaff (opinion and bias) in news stories and get to the core.
We decided that the story is that a man, for whatever reason, broke the law and was in jail for his crime. Everything else was a reporter foisting his personal opinion on us. That was information for the jury.
Les Miserables.
