Someone’s always negative in these threads, so this time it might as well be me. First of all: that headline really has an apples and oranges feel to it. Basi

Someone’s always negative in these threads, so this time it might as well be me. First of all: that headline really has an apples and oranges feel to it. Basically Rotten tomatoes worked because it merely curated and aggregated something which already existed in abundance: movie reviews, deriving a consensus based on that. Doing the same for news, will depend on something which has yet to exist at any meaningful scale: news reviews (and what would that even be?). So not only must it prove its value (and neutrality) as an aggregator, but it will also have to encourage the creation of something entirely new (news reviews) at scale, because otherwise it won’t have anything to curate. I’m not holding my breath.
