Well, to your credit, you have stood up openly here and voiced this sentence, as irrational as it is.
Of course, I didn't suggest that you (specifically) read the book, merely that you go through the endnotes and re-aquaint yourself with what good journalistic standards look like.
Bias is unavoidable, and not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself. What is avoidable (and does minor or great damage to profitable discourse) is lousy process - lazy scholarship, insular data sources, faulty reasoning.
