Red Lines: HonestReporting's 8 Categories of Media Bias

Why do most news reports often leave out the term "terrorist" and use the vague label "militant?" Should journalists have to give equal time to different perspectives?

There are different types of media bias. HonestReporting, the global grass roots media monitoring organization, breaks them down into eight categories with examples from modern journalism. A "must read" for anyone attempting to understand whether the news reports they are reading are accurate or biased.
