Switching the algorithm off isn’t the answer — a generic feed is broad, noisy and irrelevant. You need a feed that stays relevant, shows its work, and lets you choose how far to stretch.
Keep author, date, publication and original URL for every permitted source.
Cluster related items and keep reported facts, author opinion and Lens labels apart.
Match the reader’s question, topic and goals — not a generic “opposing view”.

Show why it appears, link the source, and let readers report errors or switch feeds.
