Title: Factfinding and Biases View count: 8 Rating: 0 (0 ratings) Description: Reality is a commodity, whether we want to face it or not. We can either try to fight the idea, or we can roll with it and do the best we can in those bounds. Farhad Manjoo talks a lot about how people are seeking out the truth they want to see, and that applies even to factfinding — our holiest of tasks as a journalist. But here's my question — are we supposed to accept that factfinding carries an inherit bias or are we supposed to uphold our standards and train others in unbiased factfinding?
