> Several sentences in the story were flagged as biased, including this one: "It’s the first time in 60 years that a president has mobilized a state’s National Guard without receiving a request to do so from the state’s governor." According to the bias indicator, this sentence is "framing the action as unprecedented in a way that might subtly critique the administration." It was best to give more context to “balance the tone."

"Might subtly critique"?! This isn't protecting versus bias, this isn't even charitably regardable as cowardice.

It's an attack on reason & reporting. To shield the worst cry bullies & offenders. It's ghastly how basic simple reporting so offends, that the public interest is sabotaged by these foes. We face such a need to improve the media, and this is the opposite path, of craven blunt un-intelligently intermediated corporatism.
