HOW PRINT ARTICLES
AFFECT PUBLIC OPINION
Senator Tommy Tucker of Waxhaw, NC told one news
reporter in a public hearing "I am the senator, you are the
citizen. You need to be quiet”.
The reporter was asking about a bill that allowed more
government secrecy.
By only quoting the senator and not the reporter it made
Senator Tommy Tucker look like a jerk.

Overall no matter how hard you try it is almost impossible to

Even while doing this we still felt it was hard to stay
unbiased.
