Typical MSM and their bias shows up in the first sentence:

Jesse Helms, the firebrand U.S. senator whose outspoken, conservative views polarized North Carolina and U.S. voters for decades, died at 1:15 a.m. Friday in Raleigh.

RIP, sir.

Disgusting. He hardly could have polarized N.C. voters when they kept sending him back to the senate every six years just like clockwork.

Translation: Jessie Helms, the principled and courageous U.S. senator whose strong conservative views enraged many godless, anti-American voters for decades...

Fixed it.

Lots of bias.

I heard this little “gem” on National pubic radio:

Helms well known for his conservative principles which upheld segragation and strong opposition to the UN.

Wrong...as usual.

This is from his book “Here’s Where I Stand”:

“favored voluntary racial integration that would have come about without pressure from the federal government, or from civil rights protests” — which he said only sharpened racial antagonisms.

He was mostly right.
