Sarcastic Headlines-Unbiased?




Fox News sure makes spin easy to find. Here is one of their current top headlines on their front page. Unemployment figures were expected to rise, but the figures showed a slight decrease in unemployment. Instead of reporting it objectively and letting the reader decide, Fox News publishes a negative headline using sarcasm. Sure the unemployment numbers continue to be troubling, but would an unbiased news organization use sarcasm in reporting the latest job figures? Just another sign that Fox News is a partisan organization that aims to indoctrinate its readers into a right-wing ideological stance. Can you trust that their other stories are unbiased? Is it really fair and balanced? Do they really let you decide?
