Selection bias

The BBC’s Jeremy Paxman is very good at asking questions but it seems he’s not so good at answering them. This one, from David Frum, left him flummoxed.

How can you do a program that purports to study why British people are so hostile to President Bush – without taking note of the state broadcaster’s role in creating and magnifying that hostility?

Anyone got an answer to that?

Thanks to Biased BBC for the link.
