Something that tries to be objective.
1 - Politics are too divided, we need a platform that isn't afraid to call out everyone and anyone for going against their stated ideals. We've got right and left views so let's boil them down and try to find middle ground because that's where most voters find themselves irl.
2 - Sports, follow your team exclusively or deal with the popular teams getting coverage because clicks. It's like exactly either or. I'd like to know what is going on all over the league not just my team or whoever everyone else likes. So much info gets missed (imo) if you don't read stuff at the local level. And I don't even gamble.
3 - Video games, too many gushing reviews that shouldn't exist by people hoping to get a job in the industry. Too much fanboy shit going on too.
4 - Movies, well something needs to take control of talking about movies from fucking Rotten Tomatoes and their cherry picking of reviews that everyone likes to conveniently ignore. Can't even talk to people about a movie without "what did it get on Rotten Tomatoes" or "is it on Netflix?" being said to me.
Something that goes off the normal path when it is called for. Trash is trash, we know it's trash. One of my favorite things that Car and Driver does and has done is just do stuff. Instead of testing the Mitsubishi Outlander in Baja, Mexico at a Mitsu sponsored first drive event they took the vehicle (without permission) into a town and wrote a piece on that. Nobody cares about approach angles on a grocery getter, tell me about the day you had driving through another country.
