You don't get a lesser bias, you simply get a different bias.
I've no problem with hiring out of towners, even Edmontonians. I mean hell, Rob Kerr did a great job. But there should be balance. I'm not asking for a Jim Hughsonesque homer to be added (that would actually be annoying as hell), but it would be nice if some of the on-air talent were Flames/Stamps/Roughnecks fans for a reason other than the fact that they are paid to be so.
