Internic, thanks for your good words about NewsTrust and for your thoughtful observations about the threats of groupthink and ideological homogenization.
We're deeply aware of these challenges and don't claim to have all the answers -- but are working hard to find practical solutions, hopefully with your help. We're happy to share info about our current algorithms and rating weights, which can be found here: http://www.newstrust.net/Help/faq_quick_review.htm#disclosure
Note that we will be changing these algorithms again in a few weeks, as part of our upcoming V3.0 upgrade.
Thanks again for your helpful feedback and good suggestions. We're also very grateful to Robin 'Roblimo' Miller for this opportunity to share our findings with the SlashDot community. We will take your recommendations in mind as we plan our next steps.
