I do pay money to subscribe to a newspaper that pretty much fits your description (The Economist). I would amend your list of qualities to say that the viewpoint of each article is always stated and argued. Most sources claim to reach no conclusion, but they actually do. The honest approach is to argue a point and try to convince the reader that you are right, not try to manipulate the reader into agreeing with you unknowingly.

Read any of the Jon Stokes articles, for example, and he usually makes predictions or makes a claim about the hidden reasons behind some industry action, but he doesn't pretend otherwise. He states that he thinks x was a bad move, and then explains why.
