Bias Is A Problem

The issue is that we are all wacked out of our minds. There is no real center ground. 

Everyone, including this Panda, has an agenda. We all want something, whatever that something is, we want it.




What are any of us being told to write?  

Or to do for that matter.

Bias occurs when the person reporting the issue has an interest in that issue regardless of their stated public position.

Bi-Ass is a Problem. Or so the Internet tells me so.

So what can we do about it?
Mark Lloyd of the Center for American Progress has some ideas.



And remember my pandas and pandettes. Anger is the sauce that drives this issue.

Emotions are fully involved in this matter and the language can get pretty heated.


How does this strike you?
















Would you consider this bias?
The real issue is that bias is so emotionally charged that it is very difficult to have a coherent and calm conversation about it. Ultimately the conversation disintegrates into finger pointing.

Well, how do we fight media bias? Here is one option.  

How To Fight Media Bias.




Really. My Advice?

Just be happy. Use your mind, not your heart.
Mean Panda OUT!

  1. I am going to be honest and straight with you about your blog. Your topic “Bias Is a Problem” caught my attention and I wanted to know where you were heading with your topic. The opening lines on your blog “The issue is that we are all wacked out of our minds. There is no real center ground”, did not draw me to read further into your post. I learnt that the second most important part of a blog is the words for your opening lines because you want to “draw people deep within your post.” There are several techniques you can use to grab the reader’s attention, check out this link - http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/08/23/11-ways-to-open-a-post-and-get-reader-engagement/
    I love you photos and captions. You might want to rewrite what you currently have below your first photo to “What are any of us being told to write, or to do for that matter?”
