It's biased just like any other news source, but I really appreciate how he keeps the TL;DR summaries very short and concise. It's one of the things on my short "daily reading list" that helps me stay on top of everything.

My comment is no reflection on you, but something I really dislike about modern politics is that someone's honest and learned opinion has been reduced to "bias". The cult of objectivity, in politics and journalism, has been one of the engines that has brought us all down the sorry road we find ourselves on now. We need more opinion, not more objectivity.

I also like RMS's summaries. He's tipped me to some stories I never would have seen otherwise.

It's an awesome feed. Stallman's analysis is pretty different from typical commentators.
