Bias is not something thats opinionated

Actually that's what it is >,>

Using loaded terms such as "outrageous" when not in quotes is presenting information in a pre-filtered manner.
Let the readers determine what would be considered Power-Mad or not.
I see this entire thing on the level of the Yahoo Blogs that are posted as news articles.

No offense.

No.

bias |ˈbīəs|
noun
1 prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair : there was evidence of bias against foreign applicants | the bias toward younger people in recruitment | [in sing. ] a systematic bias in favor of the powerful.

Hey look the bold is quite the opposite huehue.

[Ladios]

Sorry I was too late to edit. One's opinions are biased by default, however an article doesn't have to be. The wording you choose makes it so.

[Sheath]

Well as a writer its my job to provide facts and in this case offer a perspective. If you dislike it, or consider it biased, whether it is or not thats your own established opinion. And thats all an article should do. Help establish your view.

As a writer of fiction maybe, but if you are presenting your article as an accurate source of news and journalism, such opinions should be left aside to possibly an "author's opinions" sections. Again I know someone just referenced Fox News, but I find the similarities rather funny (and to some extend unnerving) of how you so freely mix information and speculation.

...thats all an article should do. Help establish your view.

I may not have my technicalities in line but I think you are confusing News and Editorials

Its not fiction, because its not made up. The second article was an addition to the first, which is clearly tagged as News and Opinion. Generally I avoid mixing the two, but nothing here has been smoked screened to deceive the reader, nor has any of the information been fabricated.

I must be confused, one moment please while I look over this again.

I am looking at that article at this very moment and I see nothing on this page that warns me it is laced with opinions and prejudice.

[Sheath]

prejudice.

Now you are being biased. I said it was not prejudice, find me something that merits you to say its prejudice.

Its a continuation of the first article. Go find it, its directly linked to the second.

You should just make this an all-opinion blog or you should stop mixing in opinion articles. If people are having trouble telling if something is opinion or not you have a problem.

I think reviews would be OK, but not your opinion on drama.

A Blockland service was shutdown due to a password security threat. Thats news. Too bad you disagree, if you have an objection to what styles of writing we publish you can always unsubscribe.

TBB won't be bullied into what we write about just because you don't support the message or views published.

Nah, I admit I am in the wrong for saying prejudice. It is just from my knowledge of the complex social structure here, I have seen you express discontent towards Ephi in the past. Excuse me for saying that.

I have now located the original article which I must have missed due to the reverse-chronological arrangement. The only thing I could possibly take issue with that I saw was the use of the word "rouge", however that is very minor and I would understand seeing it in a more formal usage as well.

I now understand that the second article was predetermined to be an opinion article. May I offer the suggestion that the distinctions between these two types of articles be made more clear. Perhaps put an opnions page for itself or add "Editorial:..." to the title of such articles?

[Sheath]

Okay then. We'll put more emphasis on whats opinion and whats not in the future.

[Ladios]

Thank you very much then.

[cucumberdude]

Again, Icy, I would strongly suggest releasing the full content that I sent you - people will be able to see what's going on here, and, very likely find themselves agreeing with the article.

[Sheath]

Theres not much else that was that interesting to read in the documents. I try to shrink my walls of text and get to the point. You'll have to release the rest yourself.
