@dwinblood - my synopsis from last week below. Please let me know if there is a possibility of collaboration on news agg/ news synopsis. Keep up the good work.

I collaborate with @metalmag25 on his @primeraplana aggregation. I can agree to resteem and support provided you are going to aggregate across many sources (including those you dislike) and try to keep the bias out of it. That is what I try to do with @newsagg. I tend to keep my bias mostly on my other accounts like @dwinblood. Now obviously I can't be completely bias free, none of us can, so I do not expect people to eliminate it. I am just an advocate for doing what journalism is supposed to do and providing people with as much information from as many different sources as possible so they can make their own informed opinion. Most places that aggregate still RAM a specific point of view at people. I can tell you a lot of my aggregation of @newsagg I often share perspectives and point of views I personally despise. I think by doing so it might become more noticeable to people. Anyway, let me know.
@dwinblood - We do have a match in the way we look at journalism and individual lenses/biases. Cant agree more with you on keeping personal bias out, at the same time I also believe journalism should separate the wheat from the proverbial chaff.
Any resteem and upvote help you provide will be very highly appreciated. I can make it a point to flip you a link every time I publish the weekly/monthly synopsis
This quote below kind sums up my views on journalistic reporting -
Yet it may be raining where you are, and not where they are. :) Waving the word "Truth" around is a dangerous thing for people that actually take time to think about it. People often treat Truth and Facts as though they are the same. They definitely are not. :)
Truth = Facts + Perspective
Each of us have a different perspective so our Truth by nature is different from person to person. :)
I DO get your point though.
Assuming both people are in the same place and one is saying it is raining, and one is saying it is not. Look out the window and get some facts. :)
Though they might walk over and say that is not rain, that is sleet, or that is a drizzle. :)
People don't like to be wrong. Though they should be happy they can be wrong. Being wrong is an OPPORTUNITY to learn. If we are not wrong then how can we ever learn?
Anyway... yes feel free to link them in the comments. Or better yet join #informationwar discord channel and post them in the iw-postpromotion section.
I usually take some of my steemit post section I include from my aggregator from there. Though no more than half. The rest I take from #news, #familyprotection, #cryptocurrencies, etc.
