Sad that they couldn’t exchange it for Chinese Drywall or Chinese Salmonella Toys since China can’t build her own carriers and has to use trickery like " hey were turning it into a gambling casino" to get ex soviet era carriers out of the Turkish straights.

Never thought of that. So either way you look at it there is no way around being lied to. I guess I should train my eye for the infamous propaganda.
-
Everyone has a bias. Some have less than others. On Znet they have less of a bias, than say NPR. But it still exists.
-
But is the bias something that will exist within any form of media?
-
Yes, because all human beings have at least some sort of mild bias at the very least. However, it varies depending upon the subject. Bias doesn’t display itself on an update about a forest fire ;p
More like 20/20 (the show) -
Is there a reasonable definition for Bias or Bia material besides lies?
-
Bias doesn’t neccessarily mean lies; often it is simply an empasis on one side of an issue. I display bias when I argue against abortion.
The problem is when bias stops the media from telling the whole story.
-
I see the light.

Ah candyman, I think we should add your sense of humor to the bias information.
-
no FOX or YES channel? You animal!
Bias is everywhere, so go everywhere…the truth is somewhere.
-
The truth is somewhere, and bias is everywhere; something about this sentence doesn’t make sense. If there are always slanted stories, then one will never see the truth.
-
Still lost, but it is late.
-
There is always one truth, but it often has multiple branches. For example, the Small Pox Vaccine protects people from Small Pox, but it kills like one out of every few thousand. I could emphasize either side. thats bias. But it is still the truth.
Theres also a cost issue, and distribution, plus it discourages terrorists, it goes on and on. Truth can (but not always) be evident even when bias is present. -
So how does one distinguish between bias information and the truth?
-
Bias is part of the truth. Take this for example:
Something happens in Palestine/Israel. So I turn to NPR(liberal) to get the Palestinian side, and then to AM Talk Radio (conservative) for the Israeli side.
Thats why debates are so good, between the two biases you ussually get the whole truth.

Aha, thanks.

you would rather listen to only one truth though :razz:

Any rational person would.
