Weekly Example of Media Bias - March 9, 2016
1. Mr. Irvine informs the reader: "What Romano failed to mention [in her obituary] was that Mrs. Reagan finished at the top of a Gallup poll of the “most admired women” in America in 1981, and remained in the top 10 throughout the Reagan presidency. Do you think this was important to note in Mrs. Reagan's obituary? Explain your answer.
2. Mr. Irvine concludes his post by stating: "Romano didn’t write an obituary, she wrote an anti-Reagan editorial, thinly disguised as an obituary, allowing her personal biases to creep into an area in which it doesn’t belong."
Do you agree with this assertion? Explain your answer.
