Evaluating sources for bias

• Does the author or publisher have political leanings or religious views that could affect objectivity?
• Is the author or publisher associated with a special-interest group, such as Greenpeace or the National Rifle Association, that might see only one side of an issue?
• Are alternative views presented and addressed? How fairly does the author treat opposing views?
• Does the author’s language show signs of bias?
