Help me to find bias in the news article
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/11/17/calgary-santa-school_n_13047850.html
Hello. Right now I'm trying to find bias from this news article. So far I believe I found just three.
The hall is decked with tinsel and festive tchotchkes. Up front there's a spread of butter tarts, shortbread cookies, chocolate Santas and Tim Hortons coffee. (Calgary Santa School Gives Top Grades To Unique Kris Kringles)
Bias because: showed brand name Tim hortons while other food didn't
There is also voice training with a professional baritone singer, a movement class with a dancer and lessons in beard care and proper donning of gay apparel.
Bias: Used unapprciate word (gay)
"Santa can't be everywhere all of the time. He's asked me to train his best regional representatives,'' she says.
Bias: She said santa can't be everywhere.
Is there other biases in the article? PLEASE HELP!

That clears it up. It is the author's bias, not the bias of the society.
