Show HN: A place for wide ranging opinions around the news

Discourse has devolved so much it is going to be tough getting people to debate respectfully around different viewpoints. It might be better to recruit a handful of people who can set the tone for these debates and then eventually open it up for a larger community.

I agree with your sentiment about publications just rehashing the same story. That's a large reason why I started http://emergentdata.co. It's not political focused rather focuses on technological acceleration and large global issues like water scarcity and mass migration. I try to curate content around a few principles: -Try to get to the most original source -Stick to real events, avoid speculation and hearsay -Avoid sensationalist headlines

Good luck to you.
