If you look at the quizes they focus only on the bad, thats called biased. Look what would you think if you saw this.

Are wary of American arrogance and hypocrisy
Trace much of today's anti-American hatred to previous US foreign policies.
Believe political solutions are inherently superior to military solutions
Believe the US is morally bound to intervene in humanitarian crises
Oppose American imperialism
Support international law, alliances, and agreements
Encourage US participation in the UN
Believe US economic policies must help lift up the world's poor

Do the bold areas not seem even a little leading to you?

Share unwavering support for Israel
Support American unilateral action
Support preemptive strikes to remove perceived threats to US security
Promote the development of an American empire
Equate American power with the potential for world peace
Seek to democratize the Arab world
Push regime change in states deemed threats to the US or its allies

The bold areas indicate leading or emotion induced areas. Deemed holds a condecending "i'm better than you so you do as I say" feeling rather than considered.
Many will push you to think that neocons believe in might makes right which is not always true. Unilateral action has been supported by more than simply neoconservatives as well.
Promote the developement of an american EMPIRE, wow now thats not leading at all.

I think you get my meaning.

Want another example of leading actions that interfere with non-biased information.

Our news channel in Hawaii, a notoriously liberal state during the war on terror said this about the incident where US troops openend fire on the car that refused to stop.

"Today a tragedy occured when US troops opened fire on a car containing Iraqi women and children." Your first thought at this if you didn't know better? Oh my GOD! What the hell did they do that for! Are they crazy!? Thats leading

Notice during the FOX news channels coverage it wasn't the funeral like reporting on CNN, no it was: HEY EVERYONE! LETS PARTY YAH! REPLAY THAT IRAQI INFORMATION MINISTER CLIP! WOO HOO! Thats not fair and balanced, thats partisan and right wing bias. They both exist and its impossible to find a non-biased source on info anymore.
