Framing bias is a pervasive problem in modern media, which can lead to a distorted understanding of events and an amplification of polarization. To tackle this, we introduce a polarity minimization loss that reduces framing bias in a generation. Our experimental results demonstrate that incorporating the proposed polarity minimization loss is effective in the reduction of biased uses of language and in removing biased information from the source input, which ultimately mitigates framing bias.
