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 solve… how do you make “the truth” transparent 😩

yeah that's hard :( Vitalik had an interesting take on that: https://vitalik.ca/general/2023/08/16/communitynotes.html

Yea, exactly :/ I think it's always fair to assume that those who want to change the narrative have much more interest and drive behind them to do whatever it takes to change it. Wikipedia, Community Notes etc. - for all of these it's the same, really.
