I’ve never hear of ‘protocol.com’ before so I went to look at their about statement: ‘ Protocol is a new media company from the publisher of POLITICO. We focus on the people, power and politics of tech, with no agenda and just one goal: to arm decision-makers in tech, business and public policy with the unbiased, fact-based news and analysis they need to navigate a world in rapid change.’

I’m fairly certain Politico is widely considered to have an agenda of some sort. See one of their strange publishing decisions from wikipedia: ‘ In March 2019 Politico was again accused of anti-semitism when it published an article depicting imagery of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders next to money trees. Sanders, one of two Jewish candidates for the 2020 US presidential election, was targeted for the amount of wealth he accumulated over his lifetime.[63] Politico staff writer Michael Kruse wrote the article detailing the senator's wealth, writing that Sanders "might still be cheap", according to one of the senator's friends, "but he's sure not poor", which was criticised as combining two anti-Semitic tropes (Jews are cheap; Jews are rich). Politico's official Twitter account used the quote to share the story; the tweet was later deleted.[64]’

Anyone claiming to have no agenda and no bias is wrong. Maybe they're lying, maybe they just lack introspection, but anything more than a monkey with a typewriter will be written by a person with various pre-conceived notions, opinions, past experiences, value judgements, and aspirations which will bias whatever they create. Even if a person genuinely desires to be unbiased and actively takes steps to counteract their biases, their choice of steps to take and how far to take them are themselves biased.

At least with an institution that acknowledges its agenda you can reasonably take their biases into account. For most agendas, it is still in an institution's best interest to be generally accurate. You just need to know when to take things with a grain of salt. Unfortunately with no known agenda, there's no way to know when that is.
