But a little slanted. I took the media bias quiz in which the site actually displayed media bias in its answers. It occasionally needled talking heads in the punchline answers. In one case they let loose on Anne Coulter, describing the horrible back and forth she had with the Edwards family. A couple of times they basically just called Bill O'Reilly names without putting in at least one piece of evidence why he was the name they called him. I don't mind the poke at Anne Coulter because they rightfully evidenced what she was. At the same time it seemed like they were a bunch of grade school kids annoyed at O'Reilly with no given proof. So, it goes to show that bias even seeps in to quiz questions. It’s a great idea. But a little slanted. I took the media bias quiz in which the site actually displayed media bias in its answers.
