Again, "advocating a position" is not "biased". If I put forward the true evidence for the Holocaust, this does not mean that I am biased against Holocaust deniers. It just means that I am presenting the evidence. In fact, I would be unbiased in this case.

It is an inaccuracy of language to suggest that something which has a "target audience" is-- in virtue of that-- biased ["slanted"]
So when you're "preaching to the choir", it's not biased (slanted), then? As long as I'm talking to a theist, whatever I may say about an atheist can be accurately described as "fair and balanced". That's good to know.
Strawman argument.
How can it be 'strawman' when it's simply responding directly to the same point? You should have called it on Blackadder... he's the one that brought up "target audience". Or is this just more of the atheist bs?
sorry misread both your posts Not really sure what blackadder's point is. this move doesn't have a target audience. Not one important to this discussion anyway.

Not a very good analogy.

I have no fucking clue what this example is supposed to mean.
You said, if the message is aimed at a "target audience", it is inaccurate to suggest it could be biased ("slanted"). Mine was an example of a "target audience".

The video was a touch one sided. It could've, for complete fairness, included at least one example of a close-minded denier of the paranormal. That probably would've helped drive the point home to more of the audience.
