media bias

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,459544,00.html

Amber and Matt W.

1. The information is accurate

2. All of the information was one-sided. It seemed penned to make the mormon church look bad. their side had no voice.

3. There were no real experts in this article, just high standing members of the gay and lesbian marriage movement. Only one for the mormon church was recorded which gives a substantial bias to the anti-gay marriage movement.

4. not applicable

5. We do not think there is a status quo on the gay marriage rights issue. Our current population seems drastically divided one way or another.

6. What is the effect of having conversational quotes in the article versus official written statements?
The article had a deliberate and more personal feel towards the pro gay rights movement while the other side presented was presented as cold and unfeeling towards the people being persecuted against.
