Which source shows the least bias?

• Governor Jones is clearly the worst governor our state has ever had. He makes terrible decisions repeatedly and should never have been elected in the first place.

• Governor Jones is not treated fairly by the media. Reporters do not seem to care about all the good things he has done for our state.

• I think most everyone would agree that our governor is a smart and caring man. He went to the University of Virginia and graduated with honors. He also volunteers at the animal shelter once a month.

• Many people have differing opinions on our governor. Some people think he is doing an amazing job. Others believe he is destroying our state.
