I have to take my lumps when I don't read the whole thing.
Every article ever written has to have a pov because it's written by a human being. What one person sees as bias can be another person's attempt at selecting the most important points, or maybe the hooks (see item #2 in the list of people who will read further) to entice people to read further. To select only those whose pov agrees with our own as being professionals reflects a bias too.
But, giving journalists that broad benefit of the doubt, I agree that details opposing the basic focus of the writer is sometimes found only in the last couple of paragraphs, a truer reflection of bias. I have pointed to that myself, often enough, when responding to articles referenced by people here, among them you. It obviously also happens in the opposite direction.
