Although rare, I know many (mostly Canadians, where I live) who identify as journalists who don't pretend not to be personally biased, but as a journalist strive to share both sides and perspectives of an issue.
Although not a professional journalist myself, I try to do this on social media/blogging, and welcome constructive critical debate when I miss a perspective. You shouldn't know a journalist's position if they are a good journalist -- said another way, if you know a writer's bias or position, they're not a (good) journalist.
It does humanity no good in a polarizing world to go extreme with bias even though the result is more clicks, as that just increases polarization. This also erodes critical thought, as we can easily hear listening to keyboard warriors who follow extreme "news" -- I enjoy telling people what they watch/listen to/read when they share their political position, as their lack of critical thinking and dogma demonstrates this.
