Well, this is strictly theoretical. I can't imagine our politicians wanting to launch a news service, let alone an unbiased one.

But if they did, one option would be to hire an editorial board from nationally esteemed people from outside the political system. You know, draw the membership from Nobel prize winning scientists and authors, Olympic medal winners, people like that. They would then hire and oversee journalists who knew how to journalism.

If you're worried that would lead to olympic medals becoming politically biased, you could have the committee appoint their own replacements.

"Entirely unbiased" may be impossible, but "relatively less biased than Fox News or The Guardian" sounds achievable.

He said unbiased. No matter the quality of reporting, NPR has a clear bias. As does BBC for that matter, even less obscured.
