That's called sloppy journalism, when you don't bother checking. Bias is when you *do* make an effort to check out the story, and then decide which version to run with. There's a difference. For *that* matter Paul, *you* are showing bias (by your own definition), since you didn't bother actually finding out if it was a sloppy reporter or an actual attempt to slant the facts..
