Answer 2

The correct answer here is bias - if the paper is written about the firing of a man who the author knew personally, it is not a leap of the imagination to assume there is some bias involved in opinions held within the paper. However, I would say that it is still important to read pieces such as this, so as to understand multiple sides to the story and build up a well-rounded picture of historical events as best you can.
