Hi there. Our thesis is that all news has bias (heck even Matt Taibbi admits he does) and that's ok. What is most useful to the public is (1) reporters that strive to be objective and offer as much context as possible (2) a few different viewpoints across the political spectrum so that you see the same story framed different ways.
By curating the above on each topic our readers tell us they get closer to the unbiased story.
It's awesome to be optimizing for less bias, I am just curious what news streams you draw from. Do you have a list of publishers, like NYT, WaPo, NY Post, ... and/or do you draw from YouTube, or do you tap into AP and Google News.
It would also be awesome if you could post a few examples of news you consider 'minimally biased'.
We rate about 1000 news sources - from NYT, to wire services, down to niche sites like War On The Rocks. I mention that last one because it rates very highly in its area of focus: foreign policy, often in topics relating to war/defense. Indeed, because our algorithm emphasizes expertise rather than credibility you'll often see specialist sources outrank mainstream generalist sources.
