That's called sloppy journalism, when you don't bother checking. Bias
is
<br>
when you *do* make an effort to check out the story, and then decide
<br>
which version to run with. There's a difference.

Now why do you suppose a reporter wouldn't bother to check? And why do
you suppose his editors wouldn't check to see if he checked? Are they
*all* sloppy?

<blockquote type="cite">For *that* matter Paul, *you* are showing
bias (by your own definition),

since you didn't bother actually finding out if it was a sloppy
reporter

Well, when a news outfit is consistently "sloppy" and almost always in
the same direction (anti-Israel and pro-Hezbollah, for example), then I
judge them to be biased.

<br>
You're welcome to believe that they're not, if you so desire.
