    Recognizing bias is indeed important. But every source has some bias. Refusing to engage with biased sources will rule out everything. If you think it doesn’t rule out something, you’ve found your own bias! Good, it’s powerful to know your own bias.

    Neutrality is in fact its own bias. Not everything need or should be neutral.

    So, check the source. Eff? OK you know or can readily discover they are going to have a bias toward protecting individuals online. Read the piece knowing that and you can get valuable information from it.

    If you like, you can reference the information with attribution, Eg “the Eff says…” to avoid taking on their own bias as your own.
