A smart sixth grader can see it the bias.

Consider: Imagine you’re investigating the validity of a science experiment. The scientists are pleased with their findings, but you have some questions about their procedures.

You discover 17 separate “errors” were made, all of which supported the favored results. Is this random error? Or would you conclude that the experiment was biased by the hopes of those conducting it?

You look further and find e-mails between the scientists indicating a strong desire for a certain outcome. Do you conclude “no bias”? Or that experimenters consciously influenced the outcome?

When you see headlines on print or cable news claiming “no bias” in the Trump investigation, know that they came from people who were either dumber than a sixth grader or were simply lying to you.
