I really wish there was a truly unbiased way to get the news.
I feel like this is an area where AI could have an impact. Yes, it could be negative impact. However, combining AI with information that has been sourced from multiple points, blockchain, reliability scores and a host of other data points to provide a confidence score - it might mean we could have a better view of information, and cut out a lot of the "fourth-hand accounts".
That would be kind of cool. I would imagine there is already some efforts towards this. I have seen some cool tools that leverage chatbots with your own provided sources.
