I told my friend that I listen to the news critically, and if I think the facts are being slanted in a way that persuades us to think about the story a certain way, I stop listening.

About the only news I hear is CBS radio news, and it is awful the way the stories are biased. Very subtle, but very deliberate choice of words and vocal tone to sway the listener.
