No I don't think it is ok for news stories to have a slant or bias because in my opinion bias isn't necessarily a bad thing, because everyone is biased. It is part of our human nature to have perspectives, preferences, prejudices, and our own beliefs. Also or our own opinions. We are all biased toward information or people or things that show us that they are good or great or right or true or trustworthy. We are biased toward the people or information that supports us, makes us look good, And agrees with or confirms our existing judgements and virtues. And we are biased toward the more moral choices of actions at least, That which seems moral to us. But hidden media bias misleads, manipulates and divides us all. Also even though bias may be beneficial in helping form an informed public as it enables facts and information to be seen through different lenses, And opinions to be openly expressed and compared. So that no so called "bad or wrong" ideas, Are identified and dismissed or ridiculed. But this is not the media's primary duty or job their primary duty or job is to present us with important facts and information when they occur not include or involve or put facts and information that aren't true or fake or made up or not real. Because this information the media gives us affects the way we think and the actions we make or take in response to it. Also the news media plays an essential role in society, Because media coverage has major impact on the public when it says or tells them the whole event and provide reliable facts and information about numerous issues such as environment, technology and risk. Additionally the media is considered as a important source of information and opinion for readers through newspapers, magazines, television, radio and the internet. Various studies have exposed that the public increases their knowledge base about science from the mass media. And the media can also place pressure on the government to act by signaling a need for intervention or showing that citizens want to see a change about or for something. Also news media networks already affect the public's interest in politics by presenting the people with what they want them to see. Even if there are many issues going on, The media will focus on the one they consider to be the most important. And other actually really important issues are often overlooked. For these reasons, the quality of the media's coverage matters so they shouldn't have a slant or bias.
Format is the organizational structure of a text. An author might alter the format of a literary work to highlight the differences between things, especially when he or she is trying to deliver information about the contrasts between different situations, characters, or other aspects of the work.
