I don't think anybody is saying it will be easy. It's a big crazy idea that we would like to step toward. What facts to include? Well why have a limit? Record everything anybody is willing to testify to. Include all sources. Joe testifies that X happened. Jill testifies that y happened. One or the other might be mistaken or have a heavy bias, but if the data was available we make our own judgments. Also, we could try and stop using heavy loaded terms like terrorist / freedom fighters for example. We could try and develop neutral language. The problem right now is that the news strives to be entertaining. Just facts without colour is very boring.

Oh.. it will include conflicting testimony? Well, that's something more than 'just facts'. Although sure, it's a fact that someone made statement X. Hopefully. Often press releases, political announcements, are given precisely to hide the truth.. Yet a lot of current news takes these as fact. Anyway. Yeah, I don't think 'neutral language' or 'just facts' is at all possible. Even if you think you've achieved it..it will seem 'biased' to other people. I don't think anybody is saying it will be easy. It's a big crazy idea that we would like to step toward. Hehe ok great, I love that. Good luck! I wish you the best.
