There are a lot of good comments here on what's wrong with the media and why. A couple posts talk about solutions like AllSides or Ground News. Pardon the self-promotion but I'd like to add my company's solution: TheFactual.com. Hopefully a solution to help people complain less and consume better news :-)
We use technology to rate how informative an article likely is: links & quotes analysis, lack of opinion in writing tone, author's topical expertise based on historical writing and site historical reputation. The result is you can find good articles in hundreds of sources without having to brand an entire source (Fox, NYT, CNN etc) as good or bad. And by curating a few highly rated stories across the political spectrum on each topic you see different framings of a story quickly so you get closer to the unbiased story.

- visiblink 6y agoThis looks like an interesting site. I've checked out All Sides and Ground News and a lot of what used to be considered center is now labelled as "left." I think that's because of the particularly skewed Overton window in the U.S. It would be nice to have a spectrum that could be set based on your country. I've been surfing around on your site. The article selection is very good. I'm unlikely to use it because I refuse to sign up for almost anything these days, and it's a requirement on the site, but it looks well done.
- amoorthy 6y agoThanks so much! Interesting idea to set the political leaning info based on country. I have heard many say that the US center is right of what most people consider center.
