Bias in an article
I have chosen to use the article US Urges China to Use Restraint in Tibet as an example of bias in reporting. With a story such as this, bias is inherently written in to the story. This is due to China's press policies. As the reporter cannot present both sides of the issue to the public, the article is one-sided although it appears the Dali Lama is willing to accept Chinese sovereignty over Tibet as long as the Tibetan people are allowed to remain autonomous - much like Puerto Rico's relationship with the USA.
