[quote=Anonymous]This is the kind of drivel that made even normal liberals start to give NPR the stank eye- a segment claiming that white women use neutral nail polish to assert racial dominance. Bizarre. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1123445.page

Here is an example of bias. People who advocate for and support bills that make it illegal to surgically alter a child's reproductive organs do so because they believe that it protects the child. Indeed, study after study shows that gender dysphoria is both common and fleeting during puberty and adolescence, so it doesnt make sense to medically alter a child before they have time to determine whether they are really trans. Yet in the headline, NPR says such bills "target trans youth."  One test of bias is whether both sides agree with a characterization and in this case they don't.  It would be like describing people who favor early medical intervention as being in favor of "child genital mutilation."  That sounds right to me, but the people who embrace that ideology truly believe they are not harming and in fact, protecting children. You cannot be considered unbiased unless the language is neutral and mutual enough that most people agree with the characterization.
