Cue the people trying to claim that anyone in this entire world is unbiased. I'm biased, you're biased, everyone's biased. CNN is biased, NYT is biased, Fox News is biased, NPR is biased. We should all stop pretending that our own news source is unbiased. It's simply not true.

Sure, but a reputable source actively tries to mitigate bias. Not to mention, Wikipedia is supposed to be a repository of factual information as opposed to news publications that often deliberately focus on their own opinions rather than facts - not that editorials are inherently bad, just that news publications are distinct from encyclopedias.

However, some news sources make some effort to reduce bias and otherwise function within an ethos that bias is something that reporters should try to avoid unless there's good reason for apparent bias. (For example, stories about smoking causing lung cancer, or about plate tectonics, don't require "balance" and contribution from opposing viewpoints because the opposition viewpoints are a tiny fringe without support.)

Other news sources, like Fox, don't even bother.
