This is a pretty strange way to think about viewpoints. Fringe as opposed to what? The "common" view of things in the modern media environment is highly manufactured. To have a knee-jerk filter that privileges the mainstream consensus in this information environment is a surefire way to guarantee you have "approved" viewpoints that offend no one and rock no boats. After all the revelations of intelligence service infiltration of content moderation boards at the major media companies, one might expect this attitude to be largely discredited by now.
