So we end up with a skewed idea of what is going on outside of our borders. On a local level, we hear all sorts of good or just plain neutral news, such as weddings, concerts, fairs, community events, etc. On a national level, the broadcast media often throw in a "feel good" story at the end of a show to balance all the more controversial items.<br /><br />But when it comes to outside of the US, pretty much all we hear about is natural disasters and war. No wonder so many Americans fear the rest of the world.<br /><br />That's the real bias.Starhopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350334327301656588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10584495.post-75917705654352721502018-07-27T21:03:11.896-07:002018-07-27T21:03:11.896-07:00I think they ought to make a case for what is a go...I think they ought to make a case for what is a good government and society and apply that standard equally with all countries.David Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222419875209542723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10584495.post-42038044450677565452018-07-27T20:53:31.139-07:002018-07-27T20:53:31.139-07:00Sounds like your textbook is biased.Sounds like your textbook is biased.bmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855545675821692382noreply@blogger.com
