[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3005100, member: 13624"] Truth is a funny thing. Everybody can report things that are factually true, but by omitting certain details, shape the people's perception. To wit: [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ac/a8/b4/aca8b4145f0e9d7d16b669dae19e2c9d.jpg[/IMG] Ignoring the relative bias of the first three, one can't doubt that they all fail to acknowledge the fourth (which is clearly more important). It's entirely possible to be 100% factually accurate and yet still be untruthful, to miss the point of the story. Even if the particular story were to achieve perfect neutrality on a story (which will never happen), there is in inherent bias in the [I]selection[/I] of stories that garner coverage that creates an uneven coverage of news.
