No bias here.  Nope.

I honestly think some posters here need to go back to 7th grade and learn standards and expectations for different types of writing.

There is a difference between news reporting, an opinion piece, and an analysis, for instance.  Here's an explanation I use with my students:  http://thespeaker.co/difference-news-opinion-analysis/

An opinion article voices a point of view.  It is completely acceptable for someone writing an opinion piece, therefore, to have an opinion.  It is even acceptable for him or her to take sides (aka having "a bias") as long as their bias is stated upfront (usually they state their opinion in their opinion piece, after all)

In Asha Ragnappa's case, she was identified at the start of her opinion piece as being a former FBI agent.  MANY FBI agents were supporters of Comey especially after he was fired.

It would really be good if people such as the PP could go back to school and get the education they need to take part in civic discourse.  But if that isn't going to happen, members of the media might need to be more explicit in highlighting which pieces are opinion (or satire for that matter), as it appears we can no longer count on the general reading public to be able to determine that for themselves.
