When google did this long ago: https://news.google.com/ I knew the new industry was going to collapse. What more do you need from a new aggregator? Journalism was doomed since though. I had tried https://ground.news/ but never stuck with it. I like the idea but it fails at dimension. There is no left vs center vs right in Canada. Politics in Canada and Europe is 3 dimensional at least with wormholes in our politics. Worse yet, you can have a paper like globe and mail, seen as right of center. But does that mean the journalists are all right of center? No, not at all. I tried a machine-ai news startup which attempted to judge authors/journalists on their perceived bias using keywords and such. With presumably the goal to see how biased the papers are in reality. Ideal newspapers would have a strong spectrum of diverse thought. However, it failed to properly assess bias. Overall, machine ai wasnt able to assess through sarcasm, lies, or counter speech? I checked out the 'machine AI rewrites articles with maximum neutrality' but the bias remains or possibly just got worse. I have thought on what the next big attempt to improve aggregators. I've seen several attempts from others, but I think what is important to do is some algorithmic approach that isn't on bias. It has more to do with post-analysis. Follow how stories really unfold in truth. So for example, I would take the analysis where the government found that journalists outright lied about the freedom protest in Canada. Misleading the government into unconstitutionally crushing a legitimate protest. CBC's david cochrane or global's david akin and rachel gilmore should be dramatically punished for this. I suppose Rachel did get fired.
