Line 1:
Line 1: − {{guideline}}+ − − There's a difference between '''stating flatly''' that "the earth is 6,000 years old" and '''reporting''' that "Young Earth creationists say that the earth is 6,000 years old." Likewise, there's a difference between saying "All living species of animals evolved from earlier species" and saying "Most biologists believe that all living species of animals evolved from earlier species". − − English teachers call that [[attribution]]. − − Here's another example: − *It was raining on Tuesday. (unattributed) − *John said it was raining on Tuesday. (attributed) − Newspaper report on a murder trial: − *Smith killed Jones. − *Judge Robinson found Smith guilty of killing Jones. − − Simply by attributing a statement to the person who said it, we can turn bias into fact. That is, we convert a statement about something from a [[biased assertion]] into an [[attribution]]. We don't say "X". We say that "A said X."
