I don’t think unbiased results can exist in the sense that every ranking algorithm has an objective function that is essentially a bias.
You might say, hey I just mean political bias. But consider what that means. When does it not show up?
Search for front end frameworks and there is no question that rankings will be “political” in the sense that the ranking will favor some things over others. (Example: this ranking shows React, Svelte and Vue because it over weights popularity and doesn’t give my obscure but mighty framework any oxygen!)
If you search for the history of any battle (just to take us away from the present conflict), I doubt two experts agree on the salient aspects let alone two algorithms.
