  • Another assumption: that news article should present both sides of a story. Now, to demonstrate that is a bad assumption: this assumption presumes there is no objective good and bad, truth and lie, but rather that all are just opinions. This is a very deep and hurtful assumption. However, if we were to use it we should, for example, let a pedophile be interviewed when reporting an abuse case - after all, we should learn the other side of the story, right?

  • Another question would be how to make sure that the whole concept of news quality is not biased or colored with the political/philosophical convictions of the site creators - or majority of users? After clicking around this site I have a feeling it is leaning to the left/liberal side. Good example is the religion section which contains no mention of what goes on in (amongst other things) Catholicism or Islam in Europe.

  • The question is... how does this system handle stories with PR spin? Even the more "reliable" sources can be tainted by references and social memes spawned by huge PR companies.
