Probably none of these are true:
1. He explained himself clearly to a journalist.
2. The journalist understood what he was saying.
3. The journalist relayed it clearly and accurately.
4. He or the journalist didn’t exaggerate his success story.
To your specific point I read that as a layman’s explanation of bias, and not at all as actually implying that if a 1, 2, 3 comes up then it’s sure to be a 4, 5, 6 next.
