Need bias statistics in articles.?
Hello, I have having trouble searching for news or media articles that happen to have statistics that are bias to any extent.
Thanks.

Do you mean recently, or at any time? One example I can think of was the whole "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" mistake, where a newspaper wrongly predicted that Thomas Dewey would beat Harry Truman in the 1948 election, based on a phone survey. Only issue was, not too many people had phones at the time - those who did tended to be wealthier, and hence, as a whole, more likely to support the Republican candidate, so that was an example of selection bias.

You have to be kidding me, *Most* of them are bias. Try MSNBC. Their statistic on illegal Immigration claims that the net amount of people entering the country is equivalent to those 'illegally' leaving.
