depends on the subject matter. If it's something i have no grounding in then understanding the authors' potential biases is useful. If it's something I'm relatively familiar with or close enough that i think I'll be able to understand the application of potential biases in realtime then i don't usually bother. This issue is sometimes somewhat alleviated by reading multiple sources for the same/similar information. YMMV
