Yes, I agree that journalism can't be unbiased and that honesty and integrity would go a long way. it would also be nice if journalists actually tried to help people understand complex issues rather than just reporting in the shallowest possible way to get a knee-jerk reaction from the audience.

A lot of journalists, at least historically, wanted to do this. Unfortunately they've been more and more kneecapped over time by news companies either pushing for a bias, or for clicks.
