This type of bias is often used in print media to make an article more important than it is. Bias through word choice and tone is often used in print media sources.

During the closing years of the conflict, Union armies, massed at last against critical strongholds, suffered terrible casualties but seemed to grow stronger with every defeat. Any staggering Con .....

This made Lincoln's position as Chief of State exceedingly difficult and hindered his communication and control of the military.
