I read the article I thought it brought together several points many here bring up in our seemingly bipolar discussions. You may have a different opinion I only ask , instead of surfing headlines that you read the article.

Bloody Hell
I don't know, if one's goal is to beware of bias, I'm pretty sure "preoccupation with a particular perspective on a very narrow set of topics" is as bias-y as it gets. And as a linguist, I can tell you that there's a lot to be said for headlines and key words as reflective of content and ideological orientation, let alone recurring patterns over dozens and dozens of similar headlines.
