Good post. To add to this: As a vocal critic who has done a lot of work demonstrating the issues with media fact-checking, I’ve said since the early 2010’s that a lot of the problem could be solved by just getting rid of the ratings. I know readers want an easy one word

I don’t really trust Zuck/Meta. But it’s long overdue to get rid of designated fact-checkers and “misinformation" types and just do journalism. https://www.natesilver.net/p/the-rise-and-fall-of-fact-checking
