Every media site (WSJ, NYT, Bloomberg etc.) should have some kind of a 0-100 trust score that tells you how many fake reports they made and it should be visible in your browser so you can check their reputation. It's insane the world spends more energy rating Uber drivers than media outlets.

I guess people just don't care enough :/ And them putting that score on themselves? Ain't gonna happen. An independent third party? Yea that could work, I think. Can't see how this could be monetized, though. Any ideas?

Some type of Wikipedia-like or Community Notes-like entity could handle this I guess. Maybe it shouldn't be monetized at all - could be financed like Wikipedia.

Problem is you end up hoping that the community notes are also accurate and not being botted/owned by those wanting the narrative to be true. Its such a necessary tool and so hard to solveโ€ฆ how do you make โ€œthe truthโ€ transparent ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Good point. That'd be a much better approach. But how would it be vetted then? Let's say anyone can submit a potential fake report for a media outlet, what mechanism could be used to determine if it's real or not?
