>Without arrangement and bias, journalism would have no value.
I don't know about that. Truth is stranger than fiction and there's plenty of interesting information to be had. Editorializing and slant can be juicy, but good writing/presentation is timeless. Likewise, curating and clearly presenting information of interest has tremendous value to many; potentially even more so when it's clear that there is no bias.
>"dodgy company gets its comeuppance", "my favourite party does something good" or "person dies in an accident".
Those could just as easily be fact-based reporting on topics of broad interest. No bias is needed in delivering such factual content to make it more compelling. For instance, replace those "headlines" with:
"Facebook loses court challenge over privacy violations"
"Republican party donates clothes to shelter"
"Princess Diana dies in car accident"
