But there are some "biases" that reflect a society's basic values. Most of Europe thinks it's barbaric that we still have the death penalty. It would be like insisting that articles about Dahmer challenge the assumption that cannibalism is bad.

The fact that the Guardian is a UK-based paper is definitely important context. In Britain, being pro-death penalty is a fringe view with nowhere near the societal support it has in the US - and even among supporters there tends to be a focus on more humane methods.
Also, American journalism's insistence that "both sides" be described in every article is why we're in a timeline where half the country doesn't believe in facts and think everything's up for debate. Some things should not be here and aren't in other countries.
