It’s a simple news article and not an op-ed so it’s pretty unbiased.

Are you saying that only op-eds can be biased?

No just pointing out that it’s a simple article that’s just reporting facts and quotes. Just because the post is right leaning doesn’t mean it’s local news articles are biased.

Who they ask for facts and quotes is a source of bias

a non-comprehensive list of where bias can exist in news stories:
- what stories news organizations choose to report on
- how much coverage they give each story
- language in headlines
- language in articles
- sources they reference
- people they quote
- statistics they pull
- photos they use
every part of a news article, from a single word to the article’s very existence, is an opportunity for bias. you’re naive if you think only op-eds have slant

I’m aware of all that. It’s still a fine article to read.
