It is possible for a historian to remove all traces of bias from his or her writing Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. Items can be written in an objective way without opinion. Newspapers and newscasters for years did not put their own opinion as news in the news. When writing a writer must not state their opinion or unsubstantiated facts within what they write, but instead need to be objective and unemotional. Not to repeat stories or data that is not backed up with solid facts. The facts of history can be found if they are looked for and researched.

Answer 2

It is not possible for a historian to completely remove bias from their writing, as everyone's perspective is influenced by their own experiences, beliefs, and values. While historians strive for objectivity and use evidence to support their arguments, biases can still manifest in their interpretations and conclusions. Acknowledging and minimizing bias, rather than eliminating it entirely, is a more realistic goal for historians.
