What the press "thinks" at any given time is seldom worth more than a warm pool of spittle.How to spot press bias?
Here's an easy test: if there is a statement before a question, then the reporter is biased and has an agenda.
What's a "statement" before a question?
Here's an example: "Mr. President, with our troops bogged down on their attack towards Baghdad, and with our economy now sinking with out of control unemployment, and with our homeless now starving from so many government funds being diverted away from shelters, do you now think that it was wrong to unilaterally invade Iraq?"
The question is at the end, long after the "statement" was made. Notice that the biased reporters can't simply ask the question "Do you now think that it was wrong to unilaterally invade Iraq?"
Oh no. They have to first give their political spin on all of the bad in the world, from the most extreme, worst possible angles, and *then* they ask their question.
That's media bias.
We shouldn't be interviewing reporters. Journalists shouldn't be making statements prior to asking press conference questions, and Editorial boards should have as many die-hard Country Music listeners as they have Hip Hop and Madonna fans.
Who, What, Where, When, and How. Not "others think" or "some feel".
