MODERATORS
Social media dominantly uses algorithms that fine-tune user feeds according to what they think will lead to highest engagement and end up becoming personalized echo chambers. They provide the exact opposite of "a more diverse set of news".
Even with the algorithms tuning people's feeds the diversity of information and views online is very clearly far higher than it is in traditional media where editors decide what content is published, and how it's framed. You're also using a platform that doesn't use any algorithms to mess with the feed to write all this.
