If you are talking about the Benghazi investigation, then you are probably right. Bias is not ok anytime. However, our politics are so divided right now, that we need institutions like the DOJ and FBI to be unbiased in fact as well as in appearance. The problem now is that both have been corrupted and turned into political arms of either party. If you can't see why that is a problem, then there's no point in pursuing this line of conversation.

Strokz was a classic example of the problem with bias. It leads to outcomes which do not serve justice. Maybe this problem has existed for all time and we're just now seeing all the corruption in broad daylight because of the Internet. I don't know. But if this is the way things really are and there is no hope of change, then this country's Democracy and Freedom won't last much longer. We'll go the way of all historical Republican and slide into despotism. That was always the greatest probability over the long run anyway. I just thought maybe the US was different and that we could avoid that fate. Looks like I might have been wrong.
