    Just for the record, I'd like to point out that an article can contain no falsehoods, yet still be biased. Bias can be shown in which facts are presented, and where, and how.

    In addition to some of the word choices mentioned already, it's interesting to note that they spent about 1/3 of the article emphasizing the choreographed nature of the "conversation," even including that little excerpt of the preparations. This seems to imply that it's exceptional and newsworthy that a political leader planned an event like this ahead of time (after all, articles don't usually spend that much space discussing the planned nature of such an event). But it's not exceptional at all, they do it all the time.

    So, I'd have to say that this article is biased, though I agree with Hurin that there's plenty of examples of conservative bias too.
