7. "tough on everybody"

There is a difference between an absence of bias and an absence of judgment.

If a news story involves a crazed murderer who stabs a baby to death, I suppose he first interviews the murderer with questions like "How could you do such a thing?" and then interviews the mother with questions like "Isn't it your fault for taking your baby out in public?"

That's may be unbiased, but it is also stupid.
