i like this idea, but i think it might be difficult for us to decide on what news sources are neutral. Time-Warner, for example, donates millions to the major US political parties (leaning more towards the democrats than the republicans) (see
Organization Profiles OpenSecrets) and I think it would be a bit naive to think that there aren't political things going on behind the scenes.
it would be better if when we post an interesting news item, we give our own view of the independence (or otherwise) of the news media we have quoted, if we think it is an issue, as well as our view of the story.
