Agreed. Answers dot com was not mentioned on this thread and I’ve found it to work almost as well as Wiki, for what that’s worth.

I remember a college course I had where I compared the same story in Time versus Newsweek. I was amazed at the difference between the two. Same story yet totally different perspective. I then compared it to US News & World Report and found a third difference. That was my initiation into political and PC bias in reporting and I’ve never forgotten it.

I also remember a funny story about Bill Clinton cheating at golf when he was in Australia. Reported there but ignored in the US. I’m sure your daughter will find lots of things just as interesting that prove the bias issue.

Good point about checking the same story from different sources to see the bias. I’ll keep that in mind when I get to having her apply the current set of lessons. Thanks.
