I haven't seen overt and pointed anti-Greek bias in The Argonaut, probably because members of chapters have been on staff and there was an incident a few years ago where someone made a tasteless joke about the name of a local business and lost that advertising revenue. Greek organizations advertise in the paper so biting the hand that feeds you is not a good idea. There have been stories with misinformation, but that's any student media.
What I have a real problem with is when there's a legal incident, but no indictment or court case, just alleged that someone did something, they publish the person's name, major, and year in school. I'd prefer they not do that as innocent until proven guilty, and just leave it as gender, age, and if they are a student or not if it happens on campus. This happens more frequently with athletes and off campus incidents, and it is in poor taste and really unnecessary as well as sensational.
