The problem is that ignoring the potential for bias doesn't mean the bias isn't there, nor does it really improve critical thinking. If anything, critical thinking pretty much requires you to understand the biases of the person giving you information, because otherwise, you're passively accepting flawed information that blends factual data with how someone else interprets said data.

Fair point. I think I took more issue with the immediate phrasing used in reaction to the reporting in here, but I definitely understand what you're saying in general contexts.
