Default media bias: creating a template

post an article here and concisely state how the media puts a bias on the story.
My hope is to form a consensus and a template of how the media biases things, so that we can easily determine how a media source biases an article, and by what ways and means we can counteract that.
Or, just to understand the ways that the media influences public opinion.

The ignorant ask "what is my effect on the world?"
The enlightened ask "What does the world know about itself?"

The article on the illegal alien abandoning her 8 year old kid was a good example.

So I hope we're all proud of ourselves, sacrificing soldiers for a country that would send a man to prision for throwing shoes.

Default Re: media bias: creating a template

the point of this thread is not to state there is a bias in some media.
The point of this thread is to show what form the bias takes, and to establish rules for determining a bias in an article. The purpose is to understand the universal principles that govern bias in the media. If we understand them, and codify them, it becomes far easier to use them to our collective advantage.
In that regard you fail ronster.

The enlightened ask "What does the world know about itself?"

All media is biased.


Partisanship creates poison and spreads it to others so the partisan can feel right about their own point of view.

I know that all media is biased.
But specifically, HOW is it biased? What assumptions does it use? What biased premises? What forces, what feelings, what emotions, what institutions does it use to create this bias? What connections does the media make within the story itself?

The ignorant ask "what is my effect on the world?"
The enlightened ask "What does the world know about itself?"

can you take an article, dissect it, and come up with points?

The enlightened ask "What does the world know about itself?"
