The million-dollar questions are: How do you combat the addictive effects of anger (it is a very addictive emotion), and the human predisposition towards tribal conflict (e.g., the us vs them dynamic)?
If we had a good answer to those questions, then we could craft a media environment that, while still biased, presented a good sampling of viewpoints[1].
After which, we would need to figure out how can that be made economically sustainable?
I would be very interested to tackle those problems, but fear the economics.
[1] Right now, most media outlets present "the other side" solely as a strawman/weakman argument to be knocked down.
