1. What type of bias did the New York Times display in the misleading photo comparison between the Patriots visiting Obama White House and the Patriots visiting Trump White House?  (see our "Media Bias" page --scroll down for types of bias.)

2. Accuracy in Media's Don Irvine points out:

"The day after the Patriots pointed out the Times’ bias, sports editor John Stallman took responsibility in an email to The Washington Post:

Bad tweet by me. Terrible tweet. I wish I could say it’s complicated, but no, this one is pretty straightforward: I’m an idiot. It was my idea, it was my execution, it was my blunder. I made a decision in about four minutes that clearly warranted much more time.

Once we learned more, we tried to fix everything as much as possible as swiftly as possible and as transparently as possible. Of course, at that point the damage was done. I just needed to own it.

If Stallman hadn’t been in such a rush to make a political statement out of the Patriots visit, he could have avoided the embarrassment to both himself and the Times.”

Why do you think the Times' editor was trying so hard to point out what he sees as disdain for President Trump?

3. Do you think Times editor Stallman would have issued this type of retraction if the Patriots had not called him out? Explain your answer.
