The concept of balance in media is inherently flawed. Balance between what?
For example, if I said balance was giving equal weight to the ideas of Marx and Keynes, the result would be to the left.
But instead we get halfway between Reform (right) and Labour (centre). A very right-wing position.

Flag-wearing types love talking about "Judeo-Christian Values" or "Traditional Christian values". Except they never tell us what they are.
Why? Because they are cowards. If they gave us any list of values, it would be obvious they fall grossly short. They are scared of any accountability.
