What we need here is a bias in favour of truth
Sunday, May 13, 2007
The Vancouver Sun has a piece out on what we need here is a bias in favour of truth and Larry from Sandwalk has a good post up about it.
I agree with his assessment. The media is obviously not unbiased and in some matters I don't believe they should be. If someone is a hack, the journalist should feel free to point it out, not just in opinion articles, but in news pieces. I can make the determination on whether or not I believe the journalist or not. But, if a journalist is writing a story on psuedoscience then she should do her research and come out with some reasonable critiques. Otherwise skip the piece.
