TAG / BIAS

Media owners are coming to recognize that their reporters have been writing with bias for years—and are taking action to correct their publications.

AP reporter with a history of shaded writing against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wildly overstates criticism of a new Las Vegas house of worship without fact-checking or context. 

A review of published psychiatric drug trials shows that successful outcomes are more often published, and unsuccessful outcomes never see the light of day. Is it publication bias?

Paper’s fundraising arm raises millions from pro-drug advocacies. Editor Katharine Viner repays the courtesy with articles slamming life-saving drug rehabilitation.

Martha Ross fails to self-report spouse’s longtime use and promotion of psychiatric medications and her own challenges with alcohol. The Church’s strong positions on these issues are well known, obliging her to—at the very least—disclose her conflicts of interest.

While law enforcement and advocates look for solutions, victims of hate crimes are more common than ever—and more scared.

Any legitimate journalist or newspaper would find this behavior to be unconscionable and would consider it journalistic malpractice of the highest order.
