I think this is part of a larger issue, in which people, even a lot of journalists I know, see news media as this bastion of neutrality and facts. It's a noble goal, which I do think journalists should pursue, but in reality any news publication will have biases. Even just which news you decide to highlight can bring up bias, let alone the actual things you write about the news.

Things would be a lot better if every journalist, whether right-wing, left-wing, or centrist, were upfront about their views and how the environment they're in shapes them. Bias is unavoidable, but being upfront about your biases can at least properly frame your views.
