So you'll need a team of a bunch of moderators, similar to wikipedia, to decide what is fair criticism and what's not. Seems like you'll just shift (some) of the potential abuse away from the media themselves, and over to this organisation deciding what is a reputabe outlet and what isn't. I hardly see how that's a positive - you'll centralize power over to one organization, and the more you centralize power, the easier it falls into the wrong hands.

There's a ratingsystem for everything except one for the media and if its a loose ratingsystem like metacritic is then i think there will be more positives than negatives.

Everything can fall in the wrong hands but that does not mean it cannot exist,like the media itself exists .And yes in on other ratingsites the numbers are pretty spot on,like metacritic the awful games get awful ratings.And if this moves journalists in being more honest from the start and im sure they will do that if the particular site gets popular then its allready a big win for us, the consumers .

User reviews on Metacritic are notoriously ridiculous, and the accuracy of an article isn't something subjective where everyone's opinion could be considered as valid. Facts are facts wether people disagree or not. You don't decide what is factual and what isn't based on popular vote. 

EDIT: But hey, I'm not opposed to him trying, I just don't see it actually solving the problem he wants to tackle.
