730: 604: 886: 655: 1012:"A common argument in a dispute about reliable sources is that one source is biased, meaning another source should be given preference. Some editors argue that biased sources should not be used because they introduce improper POV to an article. However, biased sources are not inherently disallowed based on bias alone, although other aspects of the source may make it invalid.

Per NPOV, editors should be neutral by not removing the bias found in RS. We should document it and not whitewash it. That means the article will then read like biased content, and that's as it should be, as long as the bias is from sources and not from editors. The article about a person who is

dishonest will give the impression that the person is dishonest because the weight of RS say so, and that is a very proper bias. Anything else be dishonest. Knowledge (XXG) does not support dishonesty or whitewash it.
