Id like to crowd source a site that objectively analyzes news articles/news sites and ranks them based on their verifiable content. Like a Zagat or Yelp for news sites, but deeper. Even better a combination of Wikipedia and Stack Overflow where submissions/reviews/analyses of news articles are ranked according to the expertise of the submitter/reviewer as judged by his or her peers and most importantly are screened by independent moderation. Checks and balances and effective moderation could deliver something like Stack Overflow where you can judge someones expertise without being an expert yourself, because you can see how his/her peers do. This could help my friends on the right and the left who seem to be relying on completely biased sources for news. I think the problem with our media landscape is the thoughtful and learned and moderate are drowned out by those who are just louder, and theres a technical fix out there. Does anything like this exist now?
