I think part of the issue is that it is literally impossible to have a news organization that everyone thinks is unbiased. Even if you just report straight facts people will claim bias just on the set of facts that you report. I think this is a lot of the reason there is such a diversity of news sources.

Certainly it's impossible, because choosing which facts (even if we grant they are "facts") to report is a form of editorializing.
