Spoiler: every narrator is 'unreliable' (ie biased and subjective) - just as every real person is. Everyone sees and spins the same events a different way.

    For example: ICE claims they HAD to shoot Rene Good, because she was a domestic terrorist who was going to run him over.

    And everybody ELSE saw the video and said ICE is full of shit.

    See? Different perspectives.

    You can write omniscient narrators that state the objective truth of the story. They're only biased in the sense that language itself is interpretive. Personally I find that to be a redundant argument.

    That's the entire point of citation, repeatable experiment, and peer review. The only way we can ever touch at reliability is cross-referential consensus.
