Sadly, the Huff Po has gotten quite fake of late in the realm of alternative medicine.
Quick quiz: What do you call alternative medicine that works?
A: Medicine.

Agreed. HuffPo's slide into quackery in its health coverage has made me more suspicious of its coverage site-wide.

Agreed, there has been a surplus of complete and utter bullshit on HuffPo recently, and not just in medicine.

And all have a political bias. That is also important to realize.

I think we can all agree that there should be a difference between "political bias" and "outright agenda-driven mission."

The only difference is a matter of degrees.

The difference between whether or not your skin is boiling off is a matter of degrees.

I understand what you're saying but what UI'm saying is I refuse to settle for 'a little bias'. It's either 'zero bias in journalism or GTFO' in my book.

Sure there is. It's quite simple, actually:
Step 1: Report the facts and only the facts as they are known
Step 2: Keep personal opinions and thoughts to yourself when engaged in #1.
I think what is moire accurate is to say, "there's no way to get zero bias
when ratings are involved
"
