The issue of bias was first raised by Mr. Baker who suggested that the NIH
panel was biased to the point of ignoring and distorting relevant evidence
("He makes it sound like the panel was not as unbiased in their assessment as
one would have hoped" and, quoting B.Park, "the panel chair declared that the
government should provide research funds for serious-minded scientists -- like
those on the panel.")  Mr. Rima believes that everyone is biased ("I refuse to
accept that you or anybody else is truly without bias in this type of
discussion.") 

I've not suggested that anyone is biased here, though, I agree more with Mr.
Rima.  There's plenty of bias on both sides.  But, again, the issue is less
bias, than whether bias prevents an objective review of the data.  Mr. Baker
suggests the NIH panel did not objectively review the EMF data because of
their bias.  I am simply questioning this conclusion.
