Presenting the truth honestly and without bias sounds like a great way to change the world.

  Historically presenting the truth honestly and without bias was a great way to lose your head. I think you overestimate the market for truth.

  If we have learned anything from the past two decades it is that anti-bias measures lead to less competent reporting. The reasonable complaints about bias - those can be much better addressed by a focus on competency. Failing to expose malfeasance within a liked administration is primarily an act of ineptitude. Correcting that seems a much surer path to less biased journalism.

  It does sound very worthwhile! But in order for it to be useful people need to be able to trust you, and in order to build and keep credibility, you need to be able to stick to reporting "honestly and without bias" even in the face of countless temptations to be a bit dishonest or one-sided in your reporting, burning some credibility for short-term gain. Of the people who want to change the world, how many can be convinced of the usefulness of such principled behavior, and actually stick to it? How many organizations? Empirically it doesn't look like very many.

  Not if your interest in changing world has a particular course in mind.
