    I’d really like this, but I’d also be worried about it becoming a 1984 “ministry of Truth” so to speak if the Republicans gained enough power.

      Just make independent fact checking organizations a requirement for every news organization.

        What makes a fact checking organization independent? Could Fox News be checked by independent organization Fox Checking? What about by Newsmax Fact Checking?

          Snopes is not a great example because of what happened, but like that.

            Like what? A site declares itself to be a fact checker, and some people believe it, while others don’t?

                  My friend ran Truth Or Fiction and it was great. Unfortunately nobody supports these organizations financially.

      It used to work better when we had the Fairness Doctrine, and it didn’t turn into the Ministry of Truth.
