Let me guess. Washington Post, CNN, and NYT will be the arbiter of what is fake news.

If these guys are going to do this, then take away their IP. These have become news outlets for a different generation. Newspapers never had IP of the printed word. Facebook, Google, Amazon et al should not be exclusive outlets because of IP restrictions.

There is not a single news organization anywhere on this planet that publishes just the plain unvarnished facts. They all spin it to their political view. Google’s “vetting” will be done with an overall liberal progressive spin. No doubt whatsoever about that.

Just like “Fahrenheit 451” on a cyber, global scale.

The ‘watchers’.....and they are all in cahoots, it seems.

Who fact checks the fact checkers?
In fact, who fact checks the fact checkers who are checking the other fact checkers?

I disagree. One American News reports news without analyzing it to death. The only problem is after the first hour, they mostly just repeat it.
To: All
I’d be all for vetting the headlines to see if they match the story.

Not just fake “vetting.”
But sheer ignorance and utter bull crap.
