Sure, but I'd argue good journalism doesn't have much to do with having a bias. It's perfectly possible for somebody to write good investigative journalism while having a particular bias. So, it's not so much about the bias itself, but rather their ability to present the facts, to explain the relationships between the events, and to paint a broader context for the story.

What I think your actual concern might be is regarding deceptive reporting where people try to paint things as something other than what they really are.

I think that's a better way of explaining what I meant with unbiased. It was an oversimplification on my side.
