During an election cycle, a candidate who brings in higher ratings for a news network is covered on a far less selective basis than their fellow candidates. And studies have shown that any mention of a candidate in the media, regardless of context, warms the voters to that name come voting time. Thus, unfair media coverage is the most pervasive information warfare employed during election cycles today. This weighted news algorithm, that prioritizes candidates that are actively working toward their campaign, but are not as inflammatory as their competititors, and thus solves this issue. It also effectively solves the issue of external or foreign influence in internal information flow, through the security of the blockchain framework as a database.
