I clicked on a story and at the bottom, it lists "sources" (19 in this case). Following one of these sources (a lesser-known site), there is an article, and at the end it says "REUTERS". So, I guess its source was another source.

Maybe a site like this should try to root-out the "root source" of information - official press releases or press conferences, eye-witness accounts.

I think some editorializing is worthwhile to place things in context and to decide what information to put together into a readable article, but things could be more explicit and should always link to the source material.

Maybe derivative articles could be placed under the source article hierarchically, with some kind of badge on each sub-article indicating percent of significant difference.

That would be great. I get frustrated when I want to read more about a news event and find that all the additional articles just rehash the same information. Instead I want to find other articles about the same event that have additional information.
