A much higher proportion of news content than Wikipedia content is politicized, and Wikipedia functions worst, IMHO, for politicized issues.
How will you prevent users from politicizing your content? For example, will you exclude more politicized sources such as Fox and the Huffington Post? Separate editorial sources from straight journalism? What about government-controlled media such as Russia Today (RT)?
It seems like the content of politicized stories could be mostly politicized 'bitts' (where often both sides are deceptive and none of the information is valid), and it could merely represent the beliefs of whichever side has more dedicated contributors.

Usually the only time I see an article that is very heavily slanted is when it the pet issue of some particular group or cause (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_United_Sta... ) Its rules on sources aren't bad at all, it's just implementation which is a bit dodgy sometimes.
