Here's my back-of-napkin 5-second attempt: a site called something like news-shuffle, which will have all the prominent news sites (Important that there are news sites from each side of the spectrum, e.g. all the way from beitbart(sp?) to cnn. Things are listed like hckrnews.com style interface, but similar items are grouped on one link. Click the link and it gives you a random version of the story (i.e. could be breitbart, could be cnn, could be comments on ycombinatory / reddit / etc (maybe some nsfw filtering though)). That way at least you are sometimes forced to consider the story from other peoples perspective.

So, the whole insane far right to moderate corporate right spectrum?

Lol- maybe news orgs can pay a small fee to be listed to support the site - which could then be ad free, or just whoever covers the story gets pushed onto the stack (maybe bad ones can be flagged and moderator removed), or just run it like a typical aggregator with a ranking, but sticking all the same story in the shuffle stack. I just picked these CNN and Breitbart as examples because it seemed like they got lots of complaints during the election from the opposite party, to illustrate the point of being faced with the opposing viewpoint.
