Hilarious story. Tough to find a bias in this one, but I have to agree if the squirrel had privacy rights, these people walked all over them.

The news story that I chose is Nelson Mandela’s death at the age of 95.

Nelson Mandela led an unbelievable life and was a hero to many. While he may have earned the respect of the international community, I am sure that there were likely still people alive when he passed who didn't see eye to eye with his politics. While I don't share the views of his opponents, the bias in the story is that there is no mention of any controversy from his life. (Not surprising though, given his legacy and that the story is about his death.) Good Choice Winston!

The NBA's commissioner came down hard Tuesday on Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, ordering him out of his team's business and pushing to force him to sell over racist remarks that caused a firestorm since becoming public days ago.

This story stirred up a lot of anger, and for good reason. Sterling made a number of racist comments which in our day and age are completely unacceptable. The fine may not seem to fit the infraction, but the NBA needed to take the strongest stance possible, not only to fight racism, but also to show their fans and sponsors that they will not tolerate bigotry in their league. Good choice of a story. The obvious bias is that they didn't ask Sterling about his comments.

What gives you the suspicion that the suspect is mentally unstable? It says in the story that he was charged with drug possession and breach of probation. You are correct though, that the bias is against the suspect.

Excellent choice Darla. The government's decision is raising eyebrows, especially given the fact it has been tied to an oil pipeline. Well done.

The news article I chose to comment on is about the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest battle of WWII, which is commemorated the first Sunday in May. Today was the 71st commemoration of the battle. I chose this article because it is important to remember about the people who fought in the war, and to not just remember them on Remembrance Day. What interested me about the article was reading about what the Canadian Navy did to escort merchant ships across the Atlantic Ocean. It also surprised me to learn that our Navy ended up being the third largest navy during the war. This story doesn’t really seem to have much bias in it. However, it only talks about the Canadian Navy and what we did during the Battle of the Atlantic.
