The problem with objective news, I imagine is the objective part since sources, even if designed to be validation capable (which might reduce fake news) would be hard to validate for objectivity.
- westoncb 9y agoThere is so much room for different approaches here, I don't think anyone has a solution at the moment. What I'm proposing is just a directed search for a solution. I don't think we know enough to rule one out either. For instance, maybe it involves employing a large number of people (maybe Amazon Turk style), piecing together commentary on shared subjects from varied sources (e.g. different newspapers) —not that I think that is a particularly good solution, I just mean to point out the potential range of solution-types possible here.
- savethefuture 9y agoThe problem though is the central control of info, WHO says something is a valid and trusting source, WHO determines what people should be lead to, there are several different sides to the same story, some are "right" and others are "right" as well. WHO is right. It would also need to be a decentralized system, otherwise it can be manipulated just like everything else, but then how do you properly agree on things to be trusting.
