      Absolutely. Humanizing politicians is biased towards the status quo by distracting from the effects of their policies, which is literally the only relevance they have to our lives.

      There’s an implicit liberal, idealist bias in examining personal aspects of politicians instead of political economy and what factions in power selected that politician.
