Loaded words elicit an emotional responsepositive or negativebeyond their literal meaning and can significantly contribute to persuading others to adopt our point of view. Consider this article from CNN.com (Links to an external site.)

Do some research and find a news article on any topic which has a good example of biased/loaded language in the headline and/or in the body of the article. Then, using a formal writing style, rewrite the headline to present a balanced perspective.

Explain your choice of article, why you feel it is biased, and how the language impacts the messaging. Detail your approach to the rewrites. Where did you start? Where did you find difficulty? Did you have a hard time conveying the original message in unbiased terms? Why or why not?
