Day 4 Do Now: What's your (political) bias?
With new information about Coronavirus being discovered every day and statistics on those who have contracted the disease rapidly changing, the media helps keep us informed. But how much does politics influence how scientific information is covered in the news?
As today's Do Now, complete **THIS SURVEY** to see where you fall on the political spectrum. We will not be sharing our results, so be honest as you answer the questions. Remember, not only does the media often come from a biased point of view, but we bring our own biases to what we read!
