Entry #3 Slanted Reporting Quest

Slanted Reporting All Over the Internet!

  An unavoidable thing every person comes across once in their internet driven life is slanted reporting. First, what is slanted reporting? It is when something is done in a way that gives more attention or support (bias) to a particular person, group, or idea.

  For example the case where Ann Coulter is caught red handed giving false statistics, bias opinions, and non-credible resources.

  As seen in the YouTube video Ann Coulter is giving resources from her book that were obviously bias resources to support her accusations and claims. This may be your reaction after the video:

  But think, when people try to back up their facts and statistics using other resources, usually these resources also were based on other resources, in a never ending continuum. So Ann Coulter was not necessarily wrong by using the resources she did, it was just the fact that her resources were not reliable. Therefore this makes Ann Coulter's book unreliable. So if anyone uses Ann Coulter's book as a resource they would need to be very picky in the parts they used, if any, and check her citations carefully.

  What do you think about Ann Coulter's resources and statistics? Have you recognized slanted reporting on the internet before? Feel free to comment below some of the things you have seen. As always, thanks for reading my blog!
