Without arrangement and bias, journalism would have no value. Searching for a random word on Google will give you a pile of facts but it's not interesting. People want to read something interesting to them. So it must be biased in a way they'll be interested in. Whether that's "dodgy company gets its comeuppance", "my favourite party does something good" or "person dies in an accident".

I don't know about that. Truth is stranger than fiction and there's plenty of interesting information to be had. Editorializing and slant can be juicy, but good writing/presentation is timeless. Likewise, curating and clearly presenting information of interest has tremendous value to many; potentially even more so when it's clear that there is no bias.

Those could just as easily be fact-based reporting on topics of broad interest. No bias is needed in delivering such factual content to make it more compelling. For instance, replace those "headlines" with:

"Facebook loses court challenge over privacy violations"

"Republican party donates clothes to shelter"

"Princess Diana dies in car accident"
