Could you flesh that out for me....

Are saying there is bias in this report?

Point it out to me....Maybe I missed something.

I also mentioned “incompetence” which is a form of “bias by omission”.

Nowhere in the article is/are the Party affiliations mentioned.

The standard for writing about politicians is to identify them by position (i.e. Congressman, City Councilwoman, Mayor, etc) and Party affiliation (often with the state attached to it) such as (D-Cal.), (R-Ill), (Ind. - Pa), (D-NYC), etc.

I’m an Old School journalist. My editors told me to be “concise, accurate, and document everything”. “Everything” includes political identities.
