Most of the people on JU that partake of the political forum have very strong views and express them from their side of the political spectrum.  And I appreciate that.  There is no mistaking when you read an article, the slant of it (once you have been around for awhile).  Similarly, if you go to Moveon.org or RushLimbaugh.com, you know what you are getting.  Neither pretends to be a news outlet, all are slanted to the left or right.  If you want the unbiased news, go to a mainstream media site!

Oh that we could tho.  For as most know, and many will acknowledge, it is hard to even find news on their sites these days.  All you get is a slanted article written to make a point.  Do they always lie?  No, except for some like CBS and the NY Times, most have at least that much integrity.  So how do they slant the news?

There are many ways to slant a story.  One is to load the opposition's side up with pejorative descriptors and paint your side as standing in the middle of the stream.  That is a very popular one and one that is practiced regularly by members of the Biased MSM.

Then there is the sin of Omission.  Instead of telling "The" story, you only tell part of the story.  And you frame it so that it looks like you are reporting the one story, when the truth is vastly different.  Such is the story of the Peace protest on September 24, 2005.  As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.  One picture may be worth a thousand words, but it is useless when it is used to push a point and not report the story.
