Stop trying to use “bias” as an adjective. All of you.
I see it just about every day and I can’t take anything following it seriously.

Biased is the adjective. The media is biased.
Bias is the noun. The media shows bias.

It’s no different from the shrieking community organizers saying things like “he’s prejudice!” or “I ain’t suppose to”.

Agreed, I noticed it also.

Ah, you mean the headline. Very strange. The article is well written and literate, but the headline is out to lunch.

The only explanation I can come up with is that headlines are often written by headline writers, whose chief concern is to fit them into the column space, so it’s probably not Herb Denenberg’s fault.

The article is good.

Yes, it's impacting me.

Thank you. It's becoming routine to see this kind of thing, unfortunately.

These errors make it difficult for me to read the article, although in this case I’m glad i did.

Another thing that drives me nuts is the omission of the “s” in plural nouns (or if it’s there, it’s preceded by an apostrophe).

Ah, well, language changes. Is “alright” in the dictionary yet? I’m afraid to look...
