> Realistically there is no way to do news without a bias nowadays.

There never has been; there is no such thing as unbiased reporting.

There is only reporting that is open about it's assumptions, premises and biases, and reporting that purports to be "unbiased". The latter is insidious and dangerous. With the former, you can simply avoid it, if you want to live in a bubble; or you can consume it, and evaluate it based on the known proclivities of the source.



There is a clear distinction between trying to be objective and pushing agendas. Just as there is a difference between news and propaganda. What's dangerous is blurring those lines. That's Orwellian.
