Entry #3- Slanted Reporting

There are many instances of reports that are indirectly opinionated, but they do still possess an opinion. While the opinion is still there, it is just cleverly hidden without being directly stated. All the author has to do is input only the information that they think supports their opinion to persuade the reader while only using a little information that might say otherwise.

This is a perfect example of slanted reporting since the man asking the questions is only asking the other man questions that answers would all be in favor of Obama. He's not directly stating his opinion that he thinks Obama is doing a good job as president, but he sneaks it in by only giving the other man the option to choose positive responses about whether Obama is doing a good job. 

Slanted reporting is used in many things, such as news reports, so careful evaluation of such work should be made to see if the hidden opinion is valid or if they're just pulling your leg. Slanted reporting isn't necessarily non-credible, but it needs to be used and evaluated carefully so as to not lose credibility or to be blindly persuaded.
