the word "bias" is habitually applied to "any idea I disagree with"
[[Conservative bias]] is also present in the media; the UK ''Guardian'' newspaper accused [[FOX News Channel]] of this, while the [[BBC]] displayed concern over one-sidedness at [[Conservapedia]].

I took a journalism class from a famous Boston Globe columnist, and she did nothing to help me write in unbiased way, although she paid lip service to the idea. Sorry, I don't have any class notes to back this up, so I better not say her name.
Also, Columbia University has a "respected" journalism department, but aren't its graduates among the most [[liberal bias]]ed of anybody in the media?
Another aspect of this topic is that the word "bias" is habitually applied to "any idea I disagree with". It's like calling someone "prejudiced" or "stupid". Is there really such a thing as [[objectivity]], and if so how can we attain it? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 09:01, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
