In reality all history, religion, politics and some other things are really biased opinions dependent on the particular point-of-view. If someone is not willing to admit their point of view; it is my biased opinion that their view is not at all accurate and should not be believed, perhaps not even considered. When news programs claim "no spin zone", "That's the way it is" or anything else that ignores the fact of their bias - you can know you are not dealing with an honest person or institution.

In general if a person is not willing to admit their bias but are willing to maintain an argument – I chock it all up to insanity (no other logical explanation that I can imagine). And if there is anything I have learned in life – it is useless to attempt a meaningful (or accurate) discussion with the insane. Attempting a meaningful discussion with the insane is just another kind of insanity. (and yes this includes the bipolar that refuse to recognize their problem).
