Bias/Objectivity
Some sites are produced to persuade an audience to believe or support a particular idea. Look for:
- The use of language
- A skew to one side or other of a debate or issue
- Opinions presented as facts
- Links to outside websites that support their point of view
Try to answer some questions about this website:
- Is the page sponsored by a corporation that wants to sell you something?
- Is the page owner an organization that is presenting its point of view on an issue?
- Who is the author and are they trying to sway your opinion?
