It’s like if you met your new next-door neighbour for the first time and they said, “Hello, I’m Frank and I’m NOT going to burgle your house,” you might be a little concerned.

It's like Fox News branding themselves as 'fair and balanced'. I tend to think it's kind of a dogwhistle - 'no bias' actually means a very particular bias (but in the minds of Dan and the people he's aiming at, that is merely 'the troof'. The Biased Broadcasting Corporation and Sly News (ugh) are in league with the Guardian to install a Labour government, after all - and no, I'm not making this up. This is something he regularly accuses on his programme).
