When reading science articles in newspapers, magazines, or on the Internet, why should you look for the authors' biases?

Answers

Answered by Brooke
Because biases sometimes leave out necessary things. A bias means the article is only one sided (most of the time). You need to pick out what sounds like it is the author's opinion, so you can decided for yourself if it is the same opinion you have. Or, if things were left out of the article to support the author' bias.

oh sorry! should I make it more simple? :)

lol ok...so bascially, science changes as technology changes. When one thing changes, it allows for crazy ideas to become real. So, New technology allows for new things to be made, and for old ideas to be changed (because new technology allows us to study older methods and change them accordingly)....Is that more understandable?
