Everyone as their own opinion, the problem is that this opinion is often allowed to interfere with news and other important comments. If you read the same news story from a number of different sources then you will probably quickly find that they are very different. This can make it difficult to know what’s right and what’s wrong. Veritocracy makes this easier by allowing you to compare the same news in the same place.
