You can't follow the rules of valid journalism and consistently come out with a liberal bias. You can, however, follow the rules of what passes for journalism in America. It's as simple as reporting core facts (good journalism) versus merely quoting opinions (American 'journalism'). Facts are politically neutral. What someone says is political and subject to bias. Classic example: Did federal government revenues go up or down after the Kennedy and Reagan tax cuts? A 'good' journalist would report that fact every time the Dems said the tax cuts caused the deficit.

A 'good' journalist would truly live up to the codes of journalistic ethics - whereas the profitable journalist pretends to but does not. In effect those codes of ethics tell you what you want to hear - and then the journalist does what helps the bottom line.

IMO: a good description of the Fox Newsertainment Channel.
"we sensationalize; you think you decide"
