4. Bias by photos, captions and camera angles

Back in my lib days I, of course, did not believe at all in liberal media bias. But then Newsweek did a cover story on the abortion issue and I noticed that although they had some the same number and same size of photos of pro-life and pro-choice demonstrators, the pro-choice photos were all of nice-looking, professional women with professionally made signs. The pro-life photos pictured overweight women with misspelled handmade signs. Once I caught that, the whole myth of no media bias began to unravel for me.

I'm curious why all the comments on this thread have to do with the press, and not with the lack of consequences for somebody who falsified evidence in a crime lab.
