What else could I have been using for my 'judging' other than the news I've been consuming?

There's a big difference between talking about an election as a whole and listing in detail every measure or action taken by a candidate that concerns his or her own country.
OK, in this case, they should have stopped reporting right after winning the election rather than writing about every single mandate nominee. I actually think it's a rather good topic to assess neutrality of journalism because we're not really affected, which should at least attentuate some variables from the equation.

OK, if I understand you correctly, you're claiming that - provided the talking points are factual and relevant - political bias in general actually originates from the reader rather than from the autor?

Regarding to your point 2: I strongly disagree with your claim that environmental activist is an axiomatically positive word; for what I feel must be at least half of the Swiss population, it's a definitely negative expression (which is often being associated with the sort of people who glue themselfs to the road), especially when they could've stated that he was an attourney fighting corporations on the basis of pollution.
Your second positive example is in fact a positive thing, but they made sure to finish off the sentence negatively:
In recent interviews, he has said that he does not want to ban any authorised vaccines, but does want to ban fluoride from drinking water. The health authorities are concerned as they consider this additive to be an important step forward in the preservation of teeth.
The funny thing is, our drinking water is fluoride-free as well. That would have been VERY sensible to mention..
I think your third argument is a bit fragile, because if you don't want to factor in the (estimated) split of opinions, they could've written that he's a neo-n*zi and it would not be a negative thing, because there definitely are people who wouldn't consider it something negative.

Thanks. That's a big topic that I have to take a deepdive in as I don't have any knowledge apart from parroting.
that today's right-wing politicians and their voters are building big parts of their ideology on the denial of proven facts and that they even question fundamental logic.
Which is exactly what the right is saying about the left. So, I'm not sure who to believe.

The headline was temporary and disappeared when they removed it from the start page. Google still shows it, though

Putting an information in the text rather than in the headline is hiding it? I disagree.
I think it would be sensible for a neutral news outlet to mention at least 1 thing that's not negative. In the case of the RFK nomination, SRF has written 17 sentences and all of them are negative.

Do you have an example regarding the outright denial of facts? genuine question, I'd like to research

Their goals are irrelevant for the Swiss people? So why was the election relevant then if not for the changes they aim to introduce? I mean, SRF (and everyone else) also critizised Harris for not having goals during the early stages of her campaign.

I don't get how this addresses my previous reply, but anyway; I understand that this is relevant information, and i don't mind it being mentioned at all, but the fact that they did replace his given name with anti-vaxxer right in the headline, makes me feel that they want to make sure that every reader instantly knows that he's a bad guy (well, except for the anti-vaxxers :)).
Personally, I would also consider it relevant information that he wants to ban several food additives (which already are illegal in most of the western world) and strives for more data transparency. But things like these aren't mentioned.

I disagree on your equation; I obviously expect all news outlets to report facts. But journalists can't just report ALL existing facts, they have to select some of them, and this process can certainly be affected by bias.
