I'm not a big fan of the title, it implies the bias is inherent in the language. The article, however, attributes the bias to the input data; the biases that the professional journalists write into their news articles.

Although that makes me wonder whether the bias is due to the journalists themselves, or whether it's reflecting inequalities in real life.

Many biases are real and self-reinforcing. In the US, doctors are ~70% male and nurses are ~90% female.

"Real" in the sense that any social construct is real.
