Biasness

I noticed this unusual word "biasness" added to the article. It's not in various dictionaries (see: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/biasness) but I see in Google that it is used in pages from India and south Asia.

Well, I'd like to suggest that the word is "bias," as in "Bias is a big problem in campaign reporting," etc. Unless we want to tag this article (at the beginning) "Indian English"! No disrespect, I just thought it was an interesting word! --Larry Sanger 02:40, 15 November 2006 (CST)

"First rough draft" attribution

I would like to point out this, but please consider I have a very weak element to do it. Take it as a research suggestion and not as a correction.

I learned about the phrase "Journalism is the first rough draft of history" when an Argentinian TV show used it as an epigraph to each episode. It was, there, attributed to Bill Kovach, not to Graham.

Maybe the show producers were misinformed, and I haven't seen it cited in any more credible source. But I hope someone here will be able to confirm or discard the attribution.
