Forget the discussion at hand and forget Amazon, but that statement is so obviously untrue that I need to object to it. Bias is not always evenly dispersed. There aren't always two valid sides to every story and not every opinion is equally rational.

For reference, I suggest "Fear of Knowledge: Against Relativism and Constructivism" by Paul Boghossian. Here's the Amazon link:
