I've thought about this a lot. I'd love to start my own 24/7 news channel. That has a democratic process. You register, state your political preference: Green, Lib, Democrat, Republican.
Then we try and fill 25% of journalists for each specific group giving a broader opinion-set. If you feel a specific journalist doesn't match and you're in that group you can vote to have them replaced.
Build a social network around this idea, and try and create some sort of equilibrium. Push also for renewal of the 'fairness doctrine', and more culpability for journalists in reporting the truth.
Imagine having a round table discussion for example with: Ana Kasparian (Left), Donna Brazille (Left-center), Tucker Carlson (Right-center), Ron Paul (Libertarian).
Sure it'll be a political bloodbath the first few months, but eventually there might come some equal ground places where people can give and maybe we gain back some integrity in journalism.
I wish we could get rid of talking heads altogether and just report the facts as they lay and let people come to their own conclusions but...that cat is out of the bag.
Next best thing is a network that has all view points and just rotates through, 1pm Tucker, 2pm Ana, 3pm Donna, 4pm Ron ... etc (not necessarily these people obviously, just an example).
