The problem is not their bias. Newpapers have been bias since their creation. The difference now is lack of competition.

Newspapers are so 18th Century. I do not think they will survive. However, that does not mean gathering news is no longer needed. What is needed is more neutral reporting.

News gatherers should remember it is not their job to choose sides, but to report. Who, What, When, Where and very little Why.

I agree. The the past "journalists" were typically attached to publications that were house organs of various political machines in their respective cities. Somehow we only ended up with the left-wing publications.

The above notwithstanding, laying out the facts used to be a good idea. Now we just have emotions and editorializing.
