Absolutely no. Even the basic act of deciding which stories to cover can be seen as bias. Which experts are we seeking out? What are their agendas? Altering facts and statements is not bias, it is incorrect reporting. Anything reported as factual that is not is wrong, period, full stop. But framing? You can frame a story any way you see fit. And as I was trying to get to in the earlier comment, "bias" is in the eye of the beholder. What might be straight down the middle for one reader could be wildly biased to another.
