The characterization of the manufacturing of rolling bearings as unglamorous, while unfortunate, is a very minor part of the article. I read the hard copy edition which filled more than two pages of the New York Times and felt it was well- researched, well-written and informative.

An Internet search revealed that Fox News did not deem this to be newsworthy. That's the real bias.
