The problem isn't that Infowars won't be ranked highly for news queries, the problem is exactly what GP said and what you glossed over: SV/academia people, who are overwhelmingly left-leaning (by location if nothing else), are not impartial arbiters of factuality.

And it's not like anyone is, but only the SV/academia types are getting input here.

That is a problem.

There is no way, none, that this won't be used against factual news with a conservative bent. I'd wager my entire net worth on it.
