Bias toward the public good sounds good to me. That what a Democracy is supposed to be about, the public good.
Not the rich, or the conservatives, or the liberals, or the ultra religious, or the atheists, just whats good for the country and the people living in it.

A democracy is about the whims and wants at a particularly given point of a society and is never usually long-lived. A republic is about justice and law previously agreed upon for the benefit of the society, both present and future. But I digress...

All these media outlets have some sort of political bias whether or not you would like to acknowledge it or not. Just because it is subtle and not blatantly obvious does not mean that it is not present. And most don't care about the "public good" or any such thing. Long gone are the days of objective reporting.
