Even a list of facts can include bias, by which facts it includes and which it omits. There exists no unbiased source of news. Better to have information, along with documentation of any potential sources of bias, evaluate that for yourself with the caveats included, and give it appropriately discounted weight.

If we take that further, perhaps we need to fix the discoverability and verifiability of facts and statistics.

There needs to be a single store, or repository of it all. Until that happens, news is just a "peek" at something, which will inevitably include bias.
