That is incorrect. Bias occurs when reporters use any occasion to cast shade on a candidate, including especially the choice of words and other subtleties of language.<br /><br />For example, in the paragraphs above:<br /><br />"Trump lovers are set in stone, as are Clinton haters. That’s one voting bloc. Clinton supporters (I don’t think there are many lovers around) are solid and entrenched..."<br /><br />Here, the reporter without any evidence whatsoever suggests that there are few Clinton lovers, in contrast to Trump's enthusiasts. On what basis. These kinds of off-hand remarks are thrown into sentences repeatedly, no matter what the actual topic, always to diminish Clinton.<br /><br />I am a Clinton lover and I saw plenty of people like me at her convention. I meet them everyday in a variety of places. Enthusiastic Clinton lovers, not mere supporters, not lesser-of-two-evils voters but actual enthusiasts. We are legion.<br /><br />This is what bias is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-62608306143770334542016-09-26T14:02:45.419-04:002016-09-26T14:02:45.419-04:00Who the candidates "are seen to be" has ...Who the candidates "are seen to be" has been pre-determined by the media and pressed into the heads of Americans by constant repetition for the last almost two years.<br /><br />Hillary is a hateful, untrustworthy shrew who would kill her mother to get ahead and Trump is an outstanding businessman who will Make America Great Again.

It's my belief that this flippant attitude is one reason that conservative talk radio is more popular than other political media - for all the craziness, at least they seem to be taking things seriously, not just wasting our time.Jonny Scrum-halfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-76724823253826003322016-09-26T11:58:37.026-04:002016-09-26T11:58:37.026-04:00Bob rightly points out that candidates and media m...<i>Bob rightly points out that candidates and media mostly focus on trivia.

For that reason, government policies often don't work. OTOH many professional and industry sectors do extremely reliable work. <br /><br />Now go one more step. Bob's observation is an argument for limited government. That is, when it's optional that government perform a certain function, it'a better left to private industry.<br />David in Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222355423128534221noreply@blogger.com
