Bias in The Tipping Point was addressed by citing a study done on a presidential election and it involved news anchors from ABC, CBS, and NBC. Peter Jennings from ABC, showed bias in facial expressions. When he talked about a particular presidential candidate he would smile which is a clear showing of bias and he would also vertically shake his head which shows another means of bias. In a news segment by channel 6 ABC, the news anchor shows bias at the beginning of the segment. The news segment was about solar power and you can see the anchor showing somewhat of a smile in agreement of the solar power. He was also shaking his head in many different directions and his tone of voice also seemed very positive.
