whats the bias on "1+1=2"?
- beeflet 2y agothe decision to include the information or not include it in the discussion in the first place, regardless of whether it's objective information
- alt227 2y agoBias towards base 10 numbering? How did you know 1+1 wasnt wanted to be calculated in binary?
- kazinator 2y ago1+1=2 has a correct interpretation in any base 3 and higher. How we know that it wasn't to be calculated in binary is that the digit 2 occurs. We have to have a reason to suspect that it was intended to be binary, otherwise we are inventing an inconsistency that isn't there in order to find a false or not-well-formed interpretation.

- germandiago 2y agoI was going to say something but the other two replies illustrate well enough things, especially the one of what information to hide or show. Others: where a headline goes, how fast information is corrected, what is the protocol to correct and if that protocol has a neutral appearance that favors someone more than others. In fact I believe neutrality does not exist as such. No problem with it, objective information and multiple sources with their biases are ok to get an idea as long as facts are shown. But an official truth? Come on, what is that? It is dangerously similar to a dictatorship to have the monopoly of truth.
