Assignment:

"Left" Source

For this portion of the assignment, find a source on your selected issue from the "left" columns of either media bias chart. The Left source typically provides a leftwing or liberal perspective on the topic.

Begin by summarizing the details of the article, including the "who, what, when, where, and why." Remember to include only details from the Left source. Once you have summarized the article's content analyze the source. Consider the following:

• Did the source include details that were not found in the "Center" source?
• What is the author's argument? What ideas are put forward regarding the topic?
• Utilize the Unit link to "How to Spot 16 Types of Media Bias." The source provides details about each of the following types of bias: spin, unsubstantiated claims, opinion statements presented as fact, sensationalism, mudslinging, mind reading, slant, flawed logic, bias by omission, omission of source attribution, bias by story choice, subjective qualifying adjectives, word choice, negativity bias, photo bias, and elite vs. populist bias. For your analysis, highlight at least three of these forms of bias found in this article. Identify each form of bias you discuss via highlighter or bold font. For example, "This portion demonstrates sensationalism" or "This passage includes unsubstantiated claims." Describe the portions you believe fall into each of three forms of bias and explain why they constitute this form of bias.
• After reading this source, do you agree with the author's perspective? Why or why not?
