Now why do you suppose a reporter wouldn't bother to check? And why do you suppose his editors wouldn't check to see if he checked? Are they *all* sloppy?On Tue, 29 Aug 2006 17:20:35 CDT, Paul Schmehl said:Hezbollah tells a story. BBC repeats it. No effort is made to see if the story is actually true. But it's not bias. Sure thing.That's called sloppy journalism, when you don't bother checking. Bias is when you *do* make an effort to check out the story, and then decide which version to run with. There's a difference.
Well, when a news outfit is consistently "sloppy" and almost always in the same direction (anti-Israel and pro-Hezbollah, for example), then I judge them to be biased.For *that* matter Paul, *you* are showing bias (by your own definition), since you didn't bother actually finding out if it was a sloppy reporter or an actual attempt to slant the facts..
