I'll sing at his grave

Show me a man without bias and I'll sing at his graveside.

But again, saying that everyone has biases does not prove the reporting on
NPR is biased. A judge can dislike a defendant and still see to it that he
gets a fair trial. A journalist can have a bias and still be fair when
reporting a story. That's a journalist's job. I still see no reason to
believe PBS and NPR's reporting is biased.

Everybody seems happy to just declare it to be true. Well, I'm not buying
it.
