Yet More Propaganda...

Because we use published media articles as sources, our goal must be for each Wikinews article be exactly as biased the overall coverage of its subject. If there were a way for a crowdsourced project to fairly and efficiently be less biased than that, I'd love to give it a try.

That's not to say that there isn't room for improvement even without an overhaul of our system. If there is real bias here it's in which articles we do and don't choose to cover with our limited volunteer pool. As a liberal myself, I'm more likely to hear about liberal subject matter, and I write what I hear about. Do you know any conservative-minded people who might want to submit some drafts for review? Be the change you want to see.

To clarify the point, we aspire to weigh sources with a variety of perspectives, each of which may have its own peculiar weaknesses, and synthesize something that's more neutral than any of them.
