If we are relying on a system of trust then it is important that overseeing bodies are unbiased and unconnected to those those they oversee. More often than not, a failure in a trust model happens because of a unseen relationship that biased the overseeing body to either miss the problem, ignore the problem, or explicitly being blocked from doing anything about it. I would like to ask what caused der spiegel system to fail, and I would guess that given the context of this article with the 2016 election and trump, a portrait of rural America that is this extreme would have raised alarm bells if their internal fact checking group had a more diverse mix of political views. The story is way to clean and fit too nicely the political narrative that now in the after match it seems almost silly.
