editorial bias
Newsroom's hidden agenda
Editorial bias is a slant in how news or opinion is presented, reflecting the preferences or agenda of editors, publishers, or owners.
It shows up in story selection, headline framing, which sources get quoted, and what gets omitted entirely.
The paper's editorial bias was evident in its coverage of the election.
Unlike a reporter's personal bias, editorial bias shapes an entire publication's output systematically.
