Yeah, nothing wrong with bias as such.

The only thing I ever saw that came close to Objective Journalism was a closed-circuit TV setup that watched shoplifters in the General Store at Woody Creek, Colorado. I always admired that machine, but I noticed that nobody paid any attention to it until one of those known, heavy, out-front shoplifters came into the place... but when that happened, everybody got so excited that the thief had to do something quick, like buy a green popsicle or a can of Coors and get out of the place immediately.

So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here -- not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market quotations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms. - Hunter S Thompson
I don't hate Fox News' bias, I do hate "no-spin zone" or that hypocritical moronic motto/meme "we report, you decide" - and the stupid six note jingle designed to work the motto into your subconscious. Bias doesn't forgive sleaziness.
