Byis in da meadea

The main point I took from the article "The Bias of Language, the Bias of Pictures" was to never let my guard down when it comes to bias in the media because there is truly no information that we can receive from television or newspapers that has no bias whatsoever. I realize now how many outside factors contribute to the creation of a news story. A person has to observe the event and relate it to another person who then writes a story about it and presents it to a newscaster who then relates the story to the consumer. There are so many spots on this chain where some sort of bias or creative interpretation of the story can be put in place of the real facts, and it would be almost impossible for the average listener to notice this.
