Ok, I'm willing to learn. Could you cite the paragraphs from the talk which reveal the ideological bias in this publication?

- vkou 9y agoI was criticising the test, not the publication. There's a few things about bias. It is incredibly difficult to detect it when it is biased towards your political/philosophical/etc views. It can happen through comission (Outright lies about verifiable facts), implication (Weasel wording, leading questions), or omission (Lack of context, mentioning but down-playing inconvenient facts). Simply scanning a piece for trigger words isn't an indicator for, or against bias. I personally think that TFA is pretty reasonable. There's a few important pieces of context that a few of their points are missing, but it's not supposed to be a seven thousand page treatise, nor is it supposed to reflect on our society. I just take issue with the test.
