I think in this particular case it's a good thing as is, but next time I might not think that, and I'd rather have the "full shebang" available too.
Though, from a philosophical point of view, search engines are supposed to find us "good" content. They try to guess our intentions and serve up the stuff we should see. In this is a massive implication that search engines already make a lot of judgment calls; just usually along less identifiable features. Here they're explicitly crafting a feature called "disinformation" and downgrading on that basis. But otherwise, is it so different to rating based on other arbitrary criteria that we don't even have any insight into?
