Those headlines are very biased in my opinion, in a subtle way to influence the reader to start each article with a bad view of Trump.
>> Trump says he's on same page as intel chiefs after insulting them
after "insulting them"? The choices of words here makes us already take a stance even before opening the article.
>> Erin Burnett: Tapes don't lie, but Trump ...
Seriously? The title already takes a stance on the view that Trump is lying all around.
>> Even some Republicans balk as Trump targets US spy chiefs
The choice of the word "Even" to make it look like it is absolutely extreme.
Those are the headlines on Fox News:
Trump Jr. calls out Schiff after report shows mystery calls weren't to dad
Trump dismisses border wall negotiations as 'waste of time'
Those are the same type of headlines with bias on the other side.
- normal_man 8y agoHe did insult them. That is a fact of the story. What word would you prefer? It attributes the stance to Erin Burnett, which you said is fine. Saying "Even" is perfectly justified here. Parties, especially the Republican party, tend to march in lockstep with their president. The fact that GOP members are opposing Trump on this IS the story
- ramsss 8y agoI'm not sure if you understand what "bias" or "opinion" mean, as the Fox News headlines you gave as examples are also not even close to being good examples. "Trump dismisses border wall negotiations as 'waste of time'" is an entirely factual, unbiased description of Trump's characterization of the border wall negotiations. You could not have given an example of a more fact-based, unbiased headline if you had tried.
