Both Sources
Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias.
After carefully reviewing my primary source to my historical event I don’t see any bias in play as they are both well balanced.
Compare how your historical event is represented in your primary sources.
Both of my primary sources seem to recount similar reporting’s of the massacre. There is some differences but all together they both cover the same topic and give almost the exact same details.
