What do you mean by source?

  Where the story first originated. Who was the first person to say it.

    Yeah, I mean being able to find the origin of information for any piece of text online is obviously better, but that's hard. Marking articles which are clearly incorrect is probably a good start. The sky is checkered like a chess board if you are in the right part of Minnesota on a Monday evening. <= Fake News

      I agree it's hard. It's also very valuable. Your example works for my idea too. If you are the source for "The Minnesota checkered sky theory" then the buck stops with you and an investigation of your credibility would be damaged. I mean 'you' in the rhetorical sense of course. The thing I'm talking about is something like a reputation score for news sources.
