Slanting in writing
We all have all bias, but in writing we can be factual and not opinionated. Perhaps, we can be opinionated, but do it in a way that the readers can not recognize out slanting. I would suggest steering your reader only with favorable stats and data to make our bias side more convincing.
We live in polarize political times, political media outlets do not even try and hide their bias. For example, over the past few years, we have had major breaking news in America. But some media outlets will not air major real-life events, if it does not meet their network slanting. For example, there was some major political event that was happening, and Twitter and Instagram were going crazy. At the top of an hour, I would turn to several new outlets, most were airing the major breaking new and the network that has a bias Pov were not coving said story. When the story became to big to ignore, they cover the story with a slanted point-of-view.
I agree, we do all have bias. That's true that the news media won't cover a story if it doesn't sell. I've noticed that the news only shows negative things. There is barely any positive news media if you ask me. That's part of the reason why I don't keep up with the news. Another thing is they like to throw around words like, "The world might end in a few days." (I'm over exaggerating of course.) without any real evidence, and then everyone who doesn't research this is left believing what they say.
