The presence of bias in an individual jounalist as a human is expected. But being a professional means having some standards that boost trust in the profession overall.

Clearly you wouldn't say that judges and police and prosecutors should just follow their biases and go after whoever they want or protect whoever they want.

Journalists don't have any legal obligation to follow standards, but they do have a professional obligation.

Do you know where I can find these agreed upon standards for journalists?

Ah, good. These don't appear to be legally binding at all. That's good news honestly!
