I wonder how the monetary incentivization of posting news would influence what type of news gets posted. For instance, if the majority of whales lean towards voting on certain types of news (of certain views, accuracy, etc.), then news outlets would be more likely to post that type of news. There's a large change of compromise unless Hive as a whole collectively manages to reward objective, honest journalism... which, based on the principles of inherent human flaws, is very unlikely. Would we risk propagating dishonest journalism even more?

just build
Keep in mind that we're talking about businesses, which will be incentivized by profits. The most profitable ones will be able to expand most. It becomes up to Hive as a whole to best reward honest journalism, and that comes back to the problem I mentioned.
