  > Are you trying to argue that NYT and WP is more trustworthy than Fox? Yes, absolutely. > How is this related to my post? You said you don't believe an unbiased algorithm will generate so many articles from WP or NYT. I disagree, depending on whether the article is based 100% on pageviews (it's not) or also factors in trustworthiness. > Or, do you mean they have a super AI to determine which news report is close to reality on each single case? My understanding is that they have a mix of AI and an editorial staff. From what I've read, the goal is not to find the closest to reality, but rather the most "canonical" story (closest to being first-hand, earliest, and most thorough). For example, most of the top stories about the Boston Marathon bombing a few years ago were from the Boston Globe, even though every newspaper was covering it. There were certain scoops/angles that were from other sources. This may not be how the algorithm works exactly, but my point is just that "lacking Fox News and WSJ" != "biased".
