    I don’t mean this in any sort of insulting way, but I think you’ve put far more analysis into this than the person who was writing on a deadline did into writing it.

    Did the author have a bias? Quite possibly. But I think your implication that these were conscious choices is going a bit too far.

      I have no idea if they decided to write the article in a biased way, but I don’t know if that matters. The people reading it still associate the article with “baseless claims,” which colors their view.

        Fair enough. I guess up to now, it seemed to me like people were implying that this was a conscious bias.
