a non-comprehensive list of where bias can exist in news stories:

  • what stories news organizations choose to report on
  • how much coverage they give each story
  • language in headlines
  • language in articles
  • sources they reference
  • people they quote
  • statistics they pull
  • photos they use

every part of a news article, from a single word to the article’s very existence, is an opportunity for bias. you’re naive if you think only op-eds have slant

I’m aware of all that. It’s still a fine article to read.
