I agree that there is no perfect objectivity journalism, even the choice of reporting something or not is a subjective choice. However, I find it misleading if not dangerous to claim that there is not even a continuum of objectivity or impartiality in journalism.
If we just say that there is no impartiality, we put the news outlets that do a lot of research and strive to give news reports painting a balanced view of reality at the same level as propaganda machines that completely disregard facts.
