The idea:
A place for people to find interesting news. As it is impossible to form an educated opinion from one source alone, related articles can also be submitted. Articles are rated based on importance, political bias, and quality.

What to do:
Read some articles. Rate some articles. Submit some articles (try clicking on feeds).

Ratings:
Articles are rated Left to Right; Also, if you hover over a rating, you can see the number of votes which comprise it.

Biased Way Left
Biased Somewhat Left
Biased Barely Left
Moderate (more or less)
Biased Barely Right
Biased SomewhatRight
Biased Very Right

 

+:
In general, a + sign means you can add something.

Next to article from feed: add to front page.
Bottom of an article: add a related article (from scratch, not RSS)
Bottom of page: add a new topic (from scratch, not RSS)
Next to feeds list: add a new RSS feed.

Recently added features:
