So after reading the Dawson gun shooting article I saw 3 different people advocating for the guns in questions and 3 people advocating for gun rules . As well I read about how laws are currently written allowing for these guns to exist . That ' s reporting . Bias is something different . Not agreeing with what is reported is not bias . There are multiple advocates and proponents in the article . Reporting on gun laws and school shootings is Newsworthy . Having advocates for gun ownership in an article detailing facts is balancing a report . You not seeing that with a critical eye is an example of confirmation bias . You expect the CBC to be biased so you see it when it ' s clearly not there . Another point is how will you make private news balanced . If every major news media had strong bias against gun ownership why would that change . At least the CBC is forced to adhere to standards , not meeting those leads to investigations and possible repercussions
