As for bias, World Magazine is most definitely biased. But then, so are Time and Newsweek and every other publication. We rarely notice the bias when it is in agreement with our own personal views...and always notice it when it is not. But, the fact is that bias cannot be escaped, nor is it always a bad thing.

Therefore, the presence of bias alone, does not make for a dis-credible news source. In the western world, where the bias in news publications is predominantly liberal, a conservative bias, such as the one found in World Magazine, is a welcome balance. If you are not comfortable with that kind of bias, then this may not be the publication for you.
