Very good point. I mean whether people recognize it or not, when we perceieve things through the senses we naturally slant it in some way or some form that we may not even notice. And then slant it further when we communicate it back. Even in the smallest sense. You bring 10 people to look at a fallen tree in the forest, and then tell them 10 minutes later to write about it, you'll get 10 different perceptions of what was seen.
So obviously when it comes to something where people have more than just a sensual perception to, but an emotional attachment there will be more obvious slanting when things happen. It's hard to fight as human beings and no one can fully fight it but we should all try to at least be respectable. I'd be the first to say that I'm probably very biased in a lot of my opinions, and some things I write and don't post, would be very unbecoming of what I usually right. Thing is I just don't post it. Always try to look how my post will affect someone else or different opinions, whether it is logical, and whether onot I'm taking into account the human condition (pathos).
So I think when we see posters that we see as unbiased, it is more or less least biased but probably more accurate just those who are thinking more about what they say rather than just the ability to say it. Think that is something the media especially needs to start learning as their "articles for hits" tend to always come at someone else's expense and the expense of logic which is never a good thing. In no way should people not have their fiery opinions come out, and they should be stated, just find a better way to say them. George Orwell was a pretty big advocate of using your words and your speech effectively.
