The problem with CNN and many other outlets is that their incentives are broken. As Naval Ravikant said quite insightfully: The Internet commoditized the distribution of facts. The "news" media responded by pivoting wholesale into opinions and entertainment.
We're going to be focused on providing the facts in the most clear and convenient way. It's difficult to do that without censoring people but we believe it's possible. For instance, if you trust Fox News as a news source then it's very unlikely that Snip will seem like CNN for you. Other people who trust CNN will see a very different news site than yours.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to see the quality of the content when the platform is open for all writers. You can check out the current version at

Fake new right there.
CNN was making fake news long before the internet so your theory doesn't quite fit.
