journalist, which implies some form of neutrality

if they're not neutral, they're not journalists. A fascist journalist is just a fascist after all.

In an ideal world you'd be right

In reality that's not actually a requirement to be one

Fair point. It sucks, but it's true.

Everybody has some sort of bias towards something. It’s ultimately just an opinion.

Journalistic integrity isn’t about being non-biased, it’s about being upfront about bias and ideally the journalist actively trying to counter their own bias within their work.
