While I understand why this is true, there are degrees and even if there are subtle ways in which article selection and etc define bias, it would be nice to read something where the intended bias was to present the facts as unbiased as possible. Like I want to read where someone tried to do that even if they failed because that’s the nature of the kind of writing I want to read. A publication that avoids overt editorialization.

Maybe what I really want is a paper heavily biased towards multiple academic perspectives, and less towards populist coverage.

What makes academic perspectives less biased than populist ones? Getting an phd does not immunize you against bias. And as bad as populist reporting may be, it is at least more representative of your fellow citizens' opinions.
That’s what I said, I want reporting heavily biased towards diverse academic perspectives.

Why do I care about my fellow citizen’s opinions? I feel like I’m drowning in my fellow citizens opinions.

Maybe I read the news for different reasons than other people. Why do you read the news?
