I remember a story on This American Life a while back that talked about the Space Shuttle, or more specifically the Canadian-built robotic arm. The story stated that the way the shuttle was talked about in Canada and on news reports, that you'd think it was all about the fantastically capable and superbly accomplished robot arm (made in Canada), that, by the way, was attached to a space shuttle thingie that really just served as a way to transport the robot arm (made in Canada) up into space so it could do it's thing.</p> <p>Have you perceived such a "bias"?</p> Great!
