Sort of like how people vote up or down comments based on how much they agree or disagree?

The masses will vote down the news sources with opposing opinions, and vote up the news sources that already support their opinions. Only a minority of people seek integrity of truth, and even then you can never expect a fully unprejudiced outlook.

It smells absurd to me.

FB shouldn't be in the news business based in their social network business model.
