Summary
Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade shooting is a story that circulates around two men, Lyndell Mays and Dominic M. Miller, who were charged with murder and other charges that occurred in Kansas city championship rally. The incident left one person dead, Lisa Lopez-Galvan, and more than 20 others injured, including nearly a dozen children. All new sources had multiple Facts that aligned, first, Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a 43-year-old mother of two and a local DJ, was fatally wounded during the incident, secondly, Lyndell Mays and Dominic M. Miller were both charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action. thirdly, The shooting occurred after a verbal argument escalated into a shootout involving multiple individuals. News sources highlighted these specific moments in all of their articles. I realized one new source may not provide as much detail due to the difference in styles of reporting and access to information. For example, one source may include more details from court documents, while another might focus on statements from law enforcement officials or witnesses. In terms for language/word choice i realized the reports generally present the facts in a straightforward manner without showing any actual bias or leading language. Moreover, They may have minor differences in tone or emphasis depending on the target audience. When it comes to bias i believe it depends if the source frequently emphasizes particular aspects of the case, such as the color or ethnicity of the defendants or victims, without providing context or significance to the entire story.

I would like to agree that there isn’t much bias in the articles based on the Cheifs Superbowl Victory Parade. They were able to charge the two persons who were responsible for killing and injuring all those people that day. I also agree that the bias can come from the opinions the writer has on certain people based on their race or ethnicity whether they are a victim or defendant. There shouldn’t be bias in any court documents because bias is simply not allowed in the court room when it comes to the judge and the jury.
Bias-ness for sure could have played a role on how the details of what happened were explained. Could have left some stuff out or added some stuff in due to their own beliefs or knowledge
