A federal appeals court Tuesday struck down a ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois – the only state where it had remained entirely illegal. Which headline gives a biased opinion about this news?

Question 5 options:

"Court ruling on Illinois gun ban sets stage for fight.“

“Court backs loaded guns in public.”

“Concealed carry: Court strikes down Illinois’ ban."

None of the above.

1. The news outlet's preference for only sources who will agree with the protest have shown a bias by source control. However, choosing not to interview those opposed to the protest is also an indication of bias by selection or omission.

2. The ABC news story shows non partisanship to any of the team by calling it a close game while NBC shows an affiliation to one of the teams by calling it a near win; this shows a bias by word choice.

3. By labeling the man an ex con, there is a bias already while the other newspaper denotatively called the man one who served time 20 years ago. This is a bias through titles and name.

4. The television station mention of marijuana with the man shows a bias by word choice or tone as it has the potential of making the public assume the killing was necessitated by the victim's access to marijuana.

5. The court did not back loaded guns in public, it only struck out the request for the gun bans. the reason for the striking out is varied and when there are more potent reasons, the court could still grant same. This is why the heading "Court backs loaded guns in public" is biased.
