Nobody is objective and unbiased.
If your goal is to report the truth, pretending you're unbiased just makes it more difficult to separate facts from ideology.
It's better to acknowledge beliefs and biases, and critically examine how they affect what is reported.
So I'd argue that fairness and accuracy in journalism is improved when people talk about their beliefs, not when they hide them.
