1.Bias by omission
2. Bias by selection of sources
3. Bias by story selection
4. Bias by placement
5. Bias by labeling
6. Bias by spin

Answer 1

Bias by omission: Ignoring facts that tend to disprove liberal or left-wing claims, or that support conservative beliefs.

Bias by the selection of sources: Including more sources in a story who support one view over another. This bias can also be seen when a reporter uses such phrases as "experts believe," "observers say," or "most people think."

Bias by story selection: A pattern of highlighting news stories that coincide with the agenda of the Left while ignoring stories that coincide with the agenda of the Right.

Bias by placement: A pattern of placing news stories so as to downplay information supportive of conservative views.

Bias by labeling: Attaching a label to conservatives but not to liberals; using more extreme labeling for conservatives than for liberals; identifying a liberal person or group as an "expert" or as independent.

Bias by spin: Emphasizing aspects of a policy favorable to liberals without noting aspects favorable to conservatives; putting out the liberal interpretation of what an event means while giving little or no time or space to explaining the conservative interpretation.

Answer 2

@seb.cal i dont conpletely understand the bias of placement, bias by labeling and bias by spin

Answer 3

Bias of placement: Making certain events seem less than what they really are as to not offend others' views.

Bias by labeling: Making one seem more "extreme" than another.

Bias by spin: Majorly covering only one side of a story, while leaving the other side in a weaker position.
