True that everything has a bias, but this article hasn't even attempted to minimize bias. I generally get my news from Al Jazeera and the BBC as they are the only two news sources I've found that have minimal bias in their news coverage.

While I agree that if everything went down as stated in that article then it's not a good thing, however I have no idea whether everything went down as stated in the article.

It's a blog post from one of the magazine's writers... like an editorial from the BBC.

Even if parts of it are ficticious (which I don't believe, but I fully respect your caution... I feel the same way when reading the BBC), the fundamentals of what happened are bad enough.

Editorial's in the BBC do have bias (they generally lean slightly to the left) - it's just their news articles that don't. Do you feel cautious reading the news on the Beeb or just the editorials? I've never really seen any bias on their news articles.

My problem is that it's all been written from the side of the person being arrested. He claim's that armed men pointed their guns at his daughter and led her along at gun point, this doesn't even seem particularly likely. There is no countering point of view from anybody else and everything that he said is taken and written as fact.
