Isn't this what editors used to do?
Somewhat, many of them also inserted their own biases - e.x. headlines.
The news/information landscape is pretty fucked, a handful of mainstream sources that all proliferate the same information. It became painfully apparent how biased these groups were with the genocide in Gaza and their attempts to suppress or distort the facts.
Luckily there are amazing independent or small scale journalists, who do real investigative research and deep dives but they're so poorly funded.
Lie factories like Facebook need to be dismantled, and funding needs to go to prop up high quality news sources.
