1. Bias though pictures/graphics- camera angles/pictures
Obamas face shows negative connotations that something bad as happened (a mistake?)
2. Word choice and tone in the body of the text(mocking?)
Emphasis on the word 'King' highlights how important and looked upon he truly was by a nation.
3. Choice of journalist and source - who is writing it and what are their beliefs, who have they got their information from
There is no nasty mention when describing a cult leaders death; potentially showing the writer sympathised him.
4. Where is the article in the paper? Is it prominent or hidden? Front page or far back
5. Bias through omission or selection- whether an article is published or not
This article received a lot of slam due to it being removed- people argued it never show have been taken down
6. Bias by headline
The headline is showing The Sun to be influencing people on what to vote for showing a bias opinion on Brexit
7. Bias by use of name and titles ('terrorists' or 'freedom-fighters'? 'ex con' or 'someone who served a sentence a long time ago')
Calling the mum a 'monster' emphasises and makes the reader feel instant hatred towards her before you even read deeper into the story.
8. Bias through statistics and crowd counts ( 'a hundred injured in aircrash' or 'only minor injuries in air crash')
The amount of casualties is included in the headline to highlight how catastrophic the terrorist attack is and uses the power of negativity to portray the story.
