4.04 Bias and Opinion

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jan/17/sabet-marijuana-legalizations-worst-enemy/

There is some bias in this article. First of all, they basically left out one side of the article and only spoke about the negative effects. There may be positive sides to legalizing marijuana but it was not written. A lot of facts were also ignored in this article. I also feel like like the article was only written from one side and not the other side. There was also bias because this article only included one view, which was from the negative side. The opposing view was not included and this showed bias.

Bias in this article could have been avoided easily. Just by including the positive effects they could have avoided bias. If they included the other views and not just written from one view there would be no bias. Getting information from all sides and views would have made the article less biased.
