Of course it is. No doubt we need news filters, or curation, because there's too much news for us to handpick. You can still do that but you're missing a lot of interesting stuff.
The discussion should be about the way filtering works. Of course you should not get what you "like", but what you are interested in. There's a subtle but big difference in that.

What we need are better experiences from news apps and sites, and not someone else's idea of the perfect overall filter. However, I do think that better selective filtering will prove helpful. I wrote a blog post on this recently. http://goldbergfam.info/blog/2011/06/03/personalized-news-sites-will-not-work/ http://goldbergfam.info/blog/2011/06/03/personalized-news-si...
