That's true, but not the core problem. Truth is not a well-defined concept, nor is it _definable_. For example, multiple well-designed studies on drugs are required because different studies produce different results. The idea that all good studies produce all good results on all good drugs is simply not true. It is true to say that someone has been given autism by a vaccine - is publishing that true story and enciting antivax movements fake news? Is it right to suppress all antivax news as fake? IMO, it seems that journalistic integrity is at an all time low (an existence created by a reactionary and unthoughtful public). I think starting censorship programs on an already sickly media can be nothing short of a catastrophe.

Good thing is that we also have pruth. It is similar to truth. It consists of the most accurate description of reality that can be known. > Is it right to suppress all antivax news as fake? pruth requires any intrinsic context, so it would be fake if you look at the rate of occurrences. I agree with you statement about journalism but don't see any reactionaries as guilty. To me, it is a story about money. Can't say if that is the pruth though. And no, more censorship wouldn't be good since the pruth will come out eventually and any trust would be further eradicated.
