I don't think this problem can be solved by another search engine as they currently exist. The problem must be solved by a new kind of search engine that exclusively searches Internet communities (HN, Reddit, etc.). The content must be community produced, since all other forms of writing have monetary incentive. You will find the best results in communities of enthusiasts with respected moderation teams.
So, a curated strategy where the users can UP/DOWN sources they trust for particular topics. Relevancy and user ranking of answers determines score. Of course, the user can search any sources they like, but a voting system would control the defaults.
I think this avoids slanted results as well, because topics are objective. The subjectivity will be in the comments, where they belong. That's in contrast to today where SEO scams can determine how high up results are.
So, to game my proposed search engine, you need to infiltrate the users. I believe this is harder to do across numerous sources compared to the current system, which is game the algorithm.
