I suppose its a bit like some scot giving an account of the floods in Boscastle given by a third person who was actually there, the info is still info no matter who is giving it.
You should care.
He is giving a story tempered by his viewpoint and as such is not actually factual. This gives you a false view of what happened and cause you to miss something important that you would pick up by someone who was actually there.
It is no different from the news. Factual info tainted by bias.
