> ruthlessly curated and fact-checked

The problem with curated news is that we can be consuming propaganda and not know it.

Even as it stands now, we hear of certain news in the world, but not others, and it severely affects our understanding of the world.




Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

We're consuming propaganda either way. Media outlets chose what to write about and what not to cover, then stories that match people's biases tend to get disproportionately popularized. I hope that this fact-checking feature can at least do something against news sites publishing obvious lies and misinformation.
