To wit, a news story on Fox may typically get, hypothetical only, 50k hair on fire responses to a story. The same story on Politico may only generate 500 ho hum responses. Now the algorithm is tasked with weighting 50k emphatic statements to 500 dismissive responses that assign little import to the topic, whatever it may be. - sano

That "problem" has been solved. First, the programmers behind the AI implement features with the code to down rate sources that contain certain phrases or are correlated with sources that express certain view points. So for example, on a certain controversial topic, one CNN news response may be weighted equally with 50 Fox news responses. Then give the Government, say the FBI, direct input to those controls. Presto, the Ministry of Truth will protect us from wrong think. What could go wrong?
