I enjoyed this article, but it bothered me that he disclosed that he wrote an amicus brief at the very end of four pages. I love Ars Technica. Please improve your journalism standards by making authors disclose their bias at the front of an article.

Not just at the front, but maybe on every separate page too.

I'm trying to understand why the bias would be a cause for concern in this case. What consequence could it have on the reading of an article that is tag-lined as "[One Side] is a rebel without a pause..." which seems to indicate some bias immediately to me.

Is there any person who can write without bias? I don't know anything about journalism, I'm just trying to understand the concern in this case (and in general). To what degree can we really expect reporters to be unbiased? (Another question for you: What examples do we have of completely unbiased reporting?)
