Check and see. A good example to use is to see who they mostly credit for ending the cold war: Reagan or Gorbachev. If they say Gorbachev, they're probably liberally biased. If they say Reagan, they're not. Also check to see how they depict the Soviet Union, and reagan's economic program.

Anything that disagrees with your point of view is biased?

You have the making of a politician.

I'm just saying if they think that the Soviet Union was good, Reagan was bad, and Gorbachev was the only reason the cold war ended then they might be a bit biased in the left direction.

Then you're a little bit biased in the right direction or was it wrong? I don't know.

What makes reality right-wing bias? If you're willing to argue your case.

Right wing philosophy is based on realism and individualism. It doesn't paint the world into black and white or good and evil; it doesn't try to force utopian visions on people. It's pragmatic and realist. So it makes sense that reality has a right-wing bias.

Leftists on the other hand are all about optimism and collectivism. *shudder* "YA MAN IF WE JUST GET RID OF CAPITALISM EVERYTHINGLL BE FIIIINE. I HATE RICH PPL!"

Putting false quotes from your opponent in terrible spelling and grammar doesn't work.

It tires to be balanced. The bias comes from the fact that it is made by someone based on their view on American history.

But seriously, if its a right wing bias then its a bias. No matter what your opinions are, they should still stay neutral even if you'd rather it was not because of your own belief. Sicne when was socialism about class hatred? I could say that life is left biased because rightism puts everythign up as an object for sale, or that it has no empathy towards humans, especially the disabled, or that it is culturally blind.

But that would be as strange as your comments. Life is life, I just want to learn without having opinions shoved down me x).

Mine is basically a communist textbook, but mostly only shows up bias on Cuba which is easy to get around.

Both you guys are seem to be trying to justify why it's good for a textbook to be liberally or conservatively biased...
