An odd lead-in for this feature:
by ArgusRun

The lead on the front page reads: The Years of Obama's Life We Still Don't Know Enough About

Obviously that headline is a bit more sensationalist than: An interactive guide to Obama's life story.

At first I saw a conservative bias. They were obviously trying to have a gotcha moment. Then I thought, maybe it a head fake. A liberal bias. Draw in the crowds looking to find something horrible in Obama's past and then show them that there is nothing there.

Finally, I saw it for what it probably is. A journalism bias. It is the journalistic equivalent of the freecreditreport.com commercials that advertise an amazing free service with a catchy jingle and then dump a monthly fee on the unsuspecting and uniformed.

Basically it promises something controversial and exciting and delivers neither.
