So you're advocating for biased news on topics which have reached consensus in the scientific community?

I think it's healthier to say "this is what the consensus in the scientific community is, and this is what someone else says" and let the reader decide.

Don't make me use Galileo as an example on expert consensus

I'm not advocating for it I just think it is impossible to have non biased news. It's even more impossible IMO to try filtering the news and find a non biased perspectives by finding commonalities and statistical averages between all biased news.

Whenever you think "Oh this news source isn't biased" it's because they have the same bias as you do. So we don't see it.

The example you gave about Galileo would require the "news sorting bot" to understand the science so thoroughly that it would be able to realize when a scientist is speaking the truth and being ridiculed by it. But at that point it would be AGI already and humans probably wouldn't be the ones doing the research anymore.

That's why I said it's healthier to avoid selling something as non-biased but still show multiple perspectives and their context. It's the best we've got
