[ISLMA-Share] Bias Lesson

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I intro the subject with a clip from the movie "Evaluating Sources" and
"Media Literacy" from Schlessinger.  Stuff like spin is covered as well.
Then, I use examples of pro/con articles. With the election right now it is
fairly easy to find examples. Just find Dem vs. Republican papers and
compare: NY Times vs Wall Street Journal.
