Google News is suffering from this. I noted on Wikipedia today, in a discussion of reliable sources, that I had searched for info about a Wikipedia topic with Google news search, with terrible results. The top three results were Algemeiner (Jewish), Breitbart News (alt-right), and Mondoweiss ("progressive and anti-Zionist"). This is pathetic.
This is not exactly true. At my site, newslines, we crowdsource news by collecting and summarizing only the factual parts of each story. While Google News aggregates articles, we select the factual information from them. In effect we put the factual data from long-form news articles into a database. Even if you have highly partisan sources you can still extract factual information. A good example of this is our newsline for Emma Sulkowicz, the so-called "Mattress girl" [1]. In her case, the news sources are extremely partisan, but even so we can still extract factual information to create an unbiased view of the news. We belive our solution is far better than Wikipedia for both handling of news events, and the elimination of bias.
We are currently looking for contributors for other lines, particularity Donald Trump.
How else can Google News rank them? Follow some news media objectivity ranking on imgur? Hire tons of unbiased people to verify the integrity of all news before adding them into the index?
I'm not playing devil's advocate here but given an uninformed electorate, some form of authoritative truth by either a independent watchdog or government agency is probably a better idea than letting private companies run the media.
You say that like it's a bad thing, but that's the nature of reality itself.
Breitbart is now the third most read news source in America, so things are looking up.
