Facts in and of themselves aren’t biased. Bias is introduced when you consider which facts get broadcast, and which don’t. The context in which facts are stated also adds bias. I think that bias is fundamentally inherent to humanity.
You’re probably right about people ignoring bias markers, but I was thinking more “incorporating your bias consciously, rather than subconsciously, throughout the article” instead of a bio or blurb at the top.
As soon as you tell someone that there is bias in an article they’ll likely ignore any facts in that article.
Really a major issue we have today is people falling down conspiracy rabbit holes. Are the likes of Alex Jones going to be telling people their bias honestly? So if we have all of the responsible journalists telling people their bias while those that peddle conspiracy theories don’t, doesn’t that just make it easier for those that peddle conspiracies? “This article debunking what I’m saying has a liberal bias, of course liberals are going to claim that I’m lying!”
