I see value in surfacing diverse "news people know" from the perspective of transparency. Do most people know the background or potential bias of a source, no ... but I see value in multiple sources on the same story being presented together. This is why I tolerate all the British tabloid crap headlines rising up on Google News as those papers make a play for US readers. In that last few days, I could imagine YouTube internally testing their recommendation engine by how many FOX story watchers were recommended a story from Al Jazeera and vice versa. Anyone here have a contact in YouTube's news area? Let's chat with them directly or forward our convo.
