Bias in the media

I know that the likes of Glenn Beck will tell you about the "Bias in the Media" but he typically will reference it being more LEFT leaning than his preferred view of "RIGHT". Well, here's what I came across yesterday and then saw that the local news picked up today.


The Local Media's take on what I saw yesterday: Survey: LDS know more about the Bible than other Christians.



While the survey that is being referenced, did find that Mormons (the name the survey used), knew more about the bible than other Christians, the point that was missed, is that Atheists, and Agnostics knew even more.
Atheists, agnostics most knowledgeable about religion, survey says. Which was the article I saw yesterday.


Essentially they're championing for coming in third place.... against people that don't claim to be a member or believer in any of it. Why bring it up at all? I mean... to me... it weakens the argument for religion as a whole... but somehow its twisted as some kind of absurd affirmation in what they already believed.
