It seems like a nice idea, and I hope it goes well, but I have my doubts. The premise seems to be that the best content is liked by both sides. The underlying intuition seems to be that each side has some truth to it.

However, I think it's more accurate to say that on an issue by issue basis, which side is being awful changes. Liberals are idiots about X, conservatives are idiots about Y (and sometimes they're both wrong, and sense is only found outside the mainstream). And it's not guaranteed that each side is right about 50% either.

So if you can get people to read things shared by people on the other side, that's good. But I think you're creating a new filter that will screen off a lot of what people actually need to read.
