I agree, the problem is the widely held belief that neutrality in writing is possible and positive. It's not possible for information to be presented without bias, even when done in the best of faith. Attempting to be neutral itself is of course biased by the experiences and information that has led one to an understanding of what "neutral" is. Neutrality is however a fantastic tool for hiding bias and ultimately that is (I think, at least) the reason it's such a popular idea.
I think transparency actually gives the benefits that neutrality claims. Everything I think and do has bias, I will (as best I can) tell you what my biases are and let you evaluate that how you will.
