Here’s a perfect example of the media bias issue John mentioned on Monday – omission of opposing viewpoints when covering a clearly politicized event. In this case, a teach-in opposing tuition hikes at UNC-CH. The front page headline in today’s Daily Tar Heel was 200 gather for tuition teach-in.
The article follows a pattern that the DTH established when talk of tuition increases began last year; they report only opposition to tuition increases without mentioning why the increases were proposed in the first place, who supports the increases, or the benefits to the university of enacting tuition increases.
