It's promoting those people and companies that do more than everyone else is doing.

I disagree. Quantity does not equal quality. Manpower does not equal quality. Quality is determined by the usefulness of the content to the user.

If a blog does better at representing a story than a news site using quoted duplicate content, and additional opinion, then it SHOULD outrank the original news source... because it's better.
