On the ever-popular subject of media bias, here's a site brought to my attention by its owner and developer: Skewz, a community-driven, collaboratively tagged news portal site that's designed to present all stories with their biases not only intact, but displayed in plain view.
It's a concept that could potentially be subject to various forms of abuse (bot-spamming, googlebombing, that sort of thing); but it sure is an elegant idea at its core, much like Wikipedia or UrbanDictionary.com. If it can operate usefully without having to be constantly embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game of abuse-thwarting, it could be an awesome resource.
