So, ask the users (who are obviously already victimized by fake news) to choose which fake news outlets aren't fake.
That should go well.
The problem is that there is an objective, measurable truth, so the most accurate outlets can be objectively quantified. If honesty/accuracy is really what they're after, then the only option is to measure and favor the best outlets.
But, it seems that they are more interested in not upsetting their users than in dealing in truth, which is really reinforcing the very problem: that non-facts are given truth-status as long as they make enough people feel good.
