Like most things, one's perception of bias is usually informed and  
influenced by one's own particular bias(es)...

(That goes for liberals, conservatives, moderates, libertarians,  
communists, fascists.....)

And, incidentally, when is bombing ever right?  Under certain  
circumstances it might be justified, I suppose--even "necessary".   
But "right"?  I think never.
