It seems to me the problem they have is trying to outsource the fact checking while sort of implying the fact check is either the official stance of Facebook or done by Facebook themselves. It seems like this could be avoided by alternate wording for their fact check. If I remember correctly, they flag articles with something like "false or misleading". Perhaps they should simply flag them with, "This post may be false or misleading, please review the following sources that claim this article is false or misleading" But the problem with all of this boils down to the fact that a very large number of people don't just get their news from Facebook, they get it from the headlines of articles posted to Facebook. I don't know what percentage of people actually read the articles before forming an opinion, but it must be exceedingly low. I have had many conversations with people on Facebook that will post articles they think prove them right because of the headline when in fact, the article will very nearly be the complete opposite of what the headline implies. The same even does for lots of videos. It seems people have even stopped watching the videos before they repost.
