Bias is everywhere

According to the article How to Detect Bias in the News, there are numerous ways people can detect bias in a newspaper, including placement of stories and the headlines. I think this article stretches it a little too far. Going by the standards in the article absolutely everything is biased. Even if something is not intended to be. Simply choosing whether a story is used or not can be considered bias.

However, most of the bias situations found in the article seem to fall under a more subjective category. What one person could think is a good story another may not. The same goes for what stories will go on the front page. It all depends on the person.

According to the article, bias is everywhere. It suggests that bias can be found in any part of a news article or newspaper. This is true, however the article seems to be daring people to find bias within news; the smallest little detail that could possibly be taken out of context. A person must meticulously look through the paper for the first sign of potential bias that he/she sees. It seems a little extreme to me.
