3. an egregious example of political bias
For examples, see 1. and 2., above. Of all the possible instances of egregious activity, the authors pick business and some SJW rant. Or I am bent to the right in an oncoming stream of left-ness, and am just too obtuse for school.

Indeed it is!
The more egregious, the better, as it may wake up those who are straddling the line.
