re: #689 Obdicut

Sure. But there’s still bias. There’s bias in what stories are covered and what stories aren’t. There’s bias in which facts get reported on. There is always bias, and pure objectivity is an impossible state to reach. Everyone in the US is biased (hopefully) towards the opinion that Democracy is a better system of government than Stalinism. Biases aren’t inherently negative.

Everything you say is true.
But reporters are supposed to try to keep it out of their stories.
And editors finish the job (among other things).
