I've been in journalism for about six years now and have worked on some fairly prolific sites; in that time, I've learned that objectivity is a myth. Don't trick yourself into thinking otherwise.

That said, I'd love to offer advice/guidance on a more specific level if you'd like to chat.

What aren't I tricking myself into thinking?.. That I would like to make the news as non-biased as possible, that I'd like to use bullet points, or that I'd like to use facts?

Bias is inherent in every step of the news gathering and reporting process. It better to recognize (and perhaps even highlight) this than to expend energy and resources on pursuing that which is ultimately unattainable. Doing so will go farther in creating credibility and trust than operating under the guise of presenting "just the facts."

I see what you're saying... So you are saying that because facts are so hard to find, and bias is all over, it would be helpful to point out bias for the sake of clarity? I like the sound of that, thanks for the tip.

More or less. Be aware of your weakness, basically.
