Note the lack of the word "honest" in that philosophy and you will start to see my point. "Fair and balanced" is a values judgement - and the news is there to provide facts, not judgements. If the facts reflect badly on conservatives, which they normally do, then there should be no requirement to balance them with an editorial which reflects badly on liberals, and vice versa. Americans look to me to be sick to death of the news trying to tell them what to think, what Americans really want is news which provides the facts. Less editorial, less fluff and more fact seems to me to be what Americans want, and Americans are finding more of that on the blogs, even with their lack of a code of ethics, then on the news.
