In the last day alone, he has asserted that 1) with no intent, there is no bias; 2) that bias may become unintentional; and 3) bias is sometimes unintentional.

Actually, they're totally consistent. One must initially choose a side to be biased. So there can be no bias without initial intent. Bias may later become unintentional, as one is so consistently biased on an issue, he doesn't even realize he's offering a biased slant when reporting on an issue. 3 is a restatement of 2.
To have a bias, one must have an opinion. Do you form opinions unintentionally? They just appear in your head out of thin air? You don;t decide to think a certain way about something? Of course not.

I doubt he is even capable of recognizing any incongruity in what he is saying.

The depth of your thinking on this is somewhere around a bird bath.

I made a joke about how ridiculous his beliefs on bias are, and he responds with this:
"Everything is subjective. If you hate any politician entirely, you’re not thinking very deeply. The correct assessment is to view all of the issues discretely. If we took that approach more often, the debates would be less heated. We’d avoid the risk of demagogues. We’d avoid 'belief, which is the kind thing that enables them."

What about that is not incorrect? Do you seriously believe that it's preferable to focus on politicians rather than issues? Given your frequently emotional tone, you might actually think so. I you'd like to express these thoughts, have at it. It'd be amusing.

If that were a word salad, it would be called the Post-Brutus E Coli Caesar. I'm not saying you shouldn't continue to endlessly argue with him. I'm just explaining why I find it pointless.

You should find it pointless. I don't really have a point except to show that you don't either.
