Unfair and unbiased

Disclaimer: I'm a registered independent. But if I lived in the?32nd district (which I don't), I would be voting for Pete Sessions.

Here's a classic example of where "unbiased media" doesn't work. Judging simply from the facts presented in the story, the hedline and lede are terribly unfair to Frost. That wouldn't be a problem if the writer told us up front he was a Sessions guy. (I have no idea if he is or not. He might well be a Democrat trying too hard to obscure his leanings. He might not even know what the head says.)

At any rate, the flashy head and the "balanced" story don't jive at all.
