Aren't journalists supposed to be neutral? How can they maintain their objectivity if they are rabid fans of one side of the political coin or the other?

Actually no. That is the difference between a journalist and a reporter. A reporter is supposed to report the facts while a journalist is supposed to report their interpretations and observations of the event.
Although the terms are used without discipline these days, there is a difference between a journalist and a reporter.
I remember getting dinged in my J classes for just reporting the facts.
