This breaks down when one half of a two party system goes all-in on lying. Reality has a left wing bias because reality is fact-based. To take a "neutral" political position in this environment is to accept blatant lies. Journalism should be a pursuit of truthful information, thus being "neutral' politically is untenable if you want to do actual journalism. It's true that might not always be the best for your subscriber numbers. But some folks do, actually, care about the truth. |

Presenting just the facts is being politically neutral, but only when it's just the facts. Providing commentary on the facts is not. I don't think it's all that crazy to say there's been an obvious left-leaning bias in that regard for the last 10-20 years.
