It's an interesting idea...most news outlets are pretty similar, but with variance in a few (of the same) dimensions. A radical change could be to vary along new and more dimensions, and in new ways, but also to introduce variance (or novelty) to the shared axioms it all sits on top of (~"the reality").
If it was all powered by AI I think you could get some really interesting results. I bet it would invoke extremely strong emotions in Humans, they tend to not like their "reality" being messed with (well...in ways other than they have become accustomed to - these ways they seem extremely fond of, and defend them passionately).
Another angle no one's run with in any serious way would be a sort of meta-journalism, again with the techniques described above. I think a well done implementation could steal/borrow 50% of Trump's base, and 30% of the Democrats. Actually, with different variations of parameters I'd think you could get a wide range of outcomes, it is often hard to know in advance what will strike a chord with people, some of the weirdest things work like a charm.
