Read the citation. Winegarden, Wayne. "Price Controls Impose High Costs On Patients.” Forbes. Forbes Magazine, January 23, 2020. https://www.forbes.com/sites/waynewinegarden/2020/01/23/price-controls-impose-high-costs-on-patients/#44a6f5845b6f. How might the author’s perspective introduce bias into their writing?
Answer
A
by only using information that supports the claim that price controls cause high costs
B
by only using positive adjectives to describe hospitals and medical facilities that use price controls
C
by using data from studies and government sources regarding the impact of price controls on costs
D
by using a variety of sources that support multiple viewpoints on price controls
Explanation
The title frames price controls as imposing high costs, which signals a perspective against them. Bias could enter if the author selects only information that supports the claim that price controls cause high costs, while leaving out evidence that might challenge it. Using data from studies or government sources does not by itself show bias, and considering multiple viewpoints would tend to make an argument more balanced.
