- Bias through pictures/graphics- camera angle/ caption. The photo has Theresa May in the foreground with supporters clapping in the background making her look empowered.
- Word choice and tone in the body of the text. This article portrays the Labour Party as "rabble" with a 'poor election campaign'.
- Choice of journalist and sources- who is writing them? (beliefs) and who have they got the information from? This article is from Dan Bloom who is a renowned labour supporter who is promoting labour, pro-Europe and anti David Cameron front pages.
- Bias through where the article is placed- is it prominent or is it hidden? This article shows the aftermath over the Grenfell tower disaster which is prominent on the front cover due to the extremely powerful threshold of the article it could not be missed.
- Bias through omission or selection- whether an article is even published. This article was from the day of the queen being found out of being involved in the tax evasion scandal, which they have chose not to report in support of the royal family.
- Bias through choice of headline. As you can see by the headline the sun are clearly against the labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and have not minced their words against hi.
- Bias by use of names and titles- ('terrorist' or 'freedom fighter'), as you can see the daily star have portrayed the man clearly as a terrorist due to the awful actions he has gone to, however this could be seen as just because he is of Islamic faith.
-
- Bias through statistics and crowd counts, this stat has been used in order to make people panic about the number of immigrants entering the UK and go against Cameron and his pledge.
