Both are simple, factual and true statements? Why does that make you stop reading?

Bias
Towards truth, or?
Bias "against X" (here: Apple).

Whether the fact is true or false makes no difference. The person with the bias will cherish both true and false statements if they are against X, and reject them if they are in favor of X.

If you read the post from the bottom you would start with:

> I don't own any Apple products, and I don't endorse their labor practices,

would you have stopped reading it because of anti-Apple bias?
