Stupid biased headline. Alternate headlines that have different biases.
None of the above are as click-baity which is why they weren't chosen.
Biased? Was he not a member of Patriot Front?
Seems that he is a member, but you may be missing my point. This is the equivalent of a headline that reads - "Black man steals from store". The goal of writing such a headline is to make certain people click through and give it their attention.
He is also a Utah citizen, etc. Why would they choose to emphasize that one aspect? I'm not suggesting that Patriot Front members are more or less likely to plead guilty to possessing child pornography. I have no idea about that, but this article is subtly hinting that.
If he is a member, how is that biased to comment on it?
Is it presenting facts that you don’t like?

Seems like you're still missing my point? The article, as headlined, is designed get a rise and to get clicks.
Is it presenting facts that you don’t like?
More like presenting facts I don't care about. Would you care at all about this if it was one of my alternate headlines?
It’s pointing out facts.
Would you prefer the headline to be ‘Person pleads guilty to crime” or would that be to click baity too?
Getting closer to my point.
Person pleads guilty to crime
This is a pointless headline that no one cares about. It would be extremely not click-baity to the point that it's not newsworthy.
When I'm referring to bias I'm also talking about what is and isn't deemed newsworthy.
Maybe we should run all article headlines past you first so you can give your opinions on it.

Or the news outlets could do a better job picking what to report on.
I think calling out pedophile Nazis is probably the nicest thing that should be done to them, but that’s just me.
Yeah, I can agree with that.
The question is whether it's a news organization's job to amplify that. I don't really know the answer to that, but it really does seem irresponsible given all the other things that can be reported on.
You don’t think it’s responsible for a news organization to call a pedophile Nazi a pedophile Nazi?
You do know news organizations can report multiple things at once right?

Depends on how prominent that pedophile nazi is. But yeah, I think there's a line where it becomes kinda pointless noise. <rando nobody nazi> is a <bad thing> is a dumb story to report on, IMO.

Obviously.
Not shocking. A lot of the people who claim to be the most "patriotic" or "religious" seem to be overcompensating for something else they're hiding. Kind of like the extremely "straight" types with gigantic closets.
It's the whole projection thing. Everything they complain that the liberals are doing, they're actually doing, whether it's to divert attention or whatever.
This is why the book banners at the last school board meeting gave my wife & I pedo vibes.
The Patriot Front group are bunch of crazy fucks.
