The concept of unbiased news is in my mind troubling. How can one have editors that won't make judgment decisions?
The more tightly one boxes the editors in with rules the more predictable the enterprise becomes. And a predictable huge enterprise is a standing invitation to be gamed. There is a whole industry of marketeers and political hacks searching for new ways to leverage others infrastructure and social assets to get their message out. The human element so far seems vital to protect against spam. Even Google can't stand still and constantly tweaks their rules - and gets taken to court for it too.
And if one has editors making decisions and they are all young they tend to be on average more left than the general population.
It is hard for Facebook to win here. The best move may be not to play.
