> 1. News "aggregator" sites that pull from both sides of the spectrum -- though people would probably just pick and choose which articles they read and which they raged over (assuming they didn't just revert back to CNN/Fox immediately) The million-dollar questions are: How do you combat the addictive effects of anger (it is a very addictive emotion), and the human predisposition towards tribal conflict (e.g., the us vs them dynamic)? If we had a good answer to those questions, then we could craft a media environment that, while still biased, presented a good sampling of viewpoints[1]. After which, we would need to figure out how can that be made economically sustainable? I would be very interested to tackle those problems, but fear the economics. [1] Right now, most media outlets present "the other side" solely as a strawman/weakman argument to be knocked down. |
