A friend of mine, Fabrice Florin, has been putting together his new user-rated news site called NewsTrust for over a year. I participated in the beta, and I have to admit it gave me a special thrill to vote on whether I thought particular news sources were trustworthy and otherwise doing a good job. This is one way to defeat the rankism of a few pundits telling everyone else what they should read. Now you can see an aggregation of what average readers *really* think. NewsTrust is now online for the general public, so check them out!
