Google News' strength is ranking, not summarizing facts from different sources so you can avoid reading all the top 5 or 20 articles about a story.

And, philosophically, do you HN folks really want to rely on the MSM to tell you what's important? And likes, shares and troll-ridden comments on news stories?

Or do you want a democratized way to decide, collectively, what news stories and facts are important.

Don't forget the NYT, etc. screwed up on no WMD's in Iraq.

I was at a small group dinner with Judith Miller, ex-NYT, who's nice but she messed up.

Who's checking the mainstream media?
