Manipulacio TV3, examples of its stupidity Jul08

It is the "Glorious" 1st of July; in England chinless aristocrats are taking to the hills for the annual Royal Deer Shoot; in Sicily smiling Mafia "protected" fishermen are clubbing tuna to death in the grotesquely picturesque "Mattanza"; while in Japan, IWC certified techno-monks are adjusting the skewer settings on their cyborg killing machines in time for the traditional shinto ceremony of the aquatic robot panda hunt.

And of course, here on ishotthemosso we begin the BLOGHUNT. You may or may not know that our quarry is the rancid Manipulaciò TV3, a blog pointing out supposed instances of bias in the Catalan media. The irony is of course, that NONE of Truthdetector's examples are actually bias, as you will see below.....


july 01: MTV3 complains that TV3 has broadcast a programme entitled "Islamic extremism, the United States' fault?". Truthdetector accuses TV3 of disguising an opinion of a question, and then disagrees with some opinions expressed by people who self define as islamists on the programme.
Analysis: I also disagree with the opinions expressed by the people interviewed on the programme, but if you want to find out why many muslims hate the US, as was the point of the programme, you have to ask them. He confuses allowing an interviewee to express an opinion with an endorsement of that opinion, it is a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of the media. The question "why do many people hate America?" is important, and needs asking, indeed many conservatives have asked the same question.
Verdict: NOT BIASED
