The attention of parapsychologists is focused on false claims that fall outside the bounds of normal human experience, including extrasensory perception. These parapsychologists know about as much about real science as the town drunk. In truth, their experiments have been shown to be impossible to replicate, which is a fundamental qualification for a science.
The author shows bias against
the town drunk
parapsychologists

New cars are not built as well as they used to be. Owners of new cars in 2002 have more complaints about their automobiles than in past years. In fact, the recalling of new cars by their makers is becoming a routine practice in America. Instead of insisting upon safe, well-designed products, carmakers seem more concerned with throwing together shoddy automobiles and making a profit. Invariably, new cars need parts replaced almost as soon as the warranty expires. Unfortunately, people need transportation, so they continue to buy new automobiles.
The author shows bias against
new car owners
car repair shops
automobile manufacturers

Everyone who cooks should own a food processor. This marvelous invention is now being used by over 12 million vegetarians, compared with only half that number a couple of years ago. Vegetarians rarely have a weight problem since most vegetables are low in calories and contain little or no fat. They do not suffer a build-up of cholesterol in the bloodstream as they grow older. Some doctors have suggested a link between vegetarianism and longevity. As Americans become more health-conscious, vegetarianism will certainly become more popular.
The author show bias for
eating "health foods"
becoming a vegetarian
avoiding cholesterol
