I wish there were a way to do this, but even as (what sometimes seems to be) the last defender of traditional newspapers, your proposal makes me uneasy. It just sounds a bit to centralized & authoritarian.
I'm also starting to be skeptical if it could have any impact: all these fact-checking projects have exposed lies for years now, mostly quite competency and convincing. But people just don't care.
Here's an idea I was thinking about: I want to use an ad-blocker for certain really annoying ads, but I do not want to cut off the lifeblood of quality journalism. I'd wish for a blocker that's more permissive, considering both the quality of the ad and the website. (similar to adblock plus, but without the blackmailing).
- vinhboy 10y agoYour thing about fact-checkers being ignored is very true and something I had not thought about. It is kinda hopeless when things are constantly debunked and people still believe it. I guess I don't really know what a solution would look like then. But I definitely think there has to be a solution.
