A choice to make more money with popular stuff rather than informing with more hard news is a bias of sorts, if you think that a commitment to journalism or lack of it is a bias per se. I know that the older generation of broadcast journalists I worked with over the years were different animals from the younger fluffballs we see everywhere today. Like many things it depends on one's definitions. There is a generic notion of bias and prejudice, a departure from objectivity, and a more normative, judgmental view that sees bias as a moral failing or weakness of sorts.
