"websites with information on politically polarized topics" is not the equivalent of "websites with disinformation". The former is fine the latter is not. For example, if I'm searching about vaccine information, which can be a polarizing topic, I don't want to be shown articles about how the vaccine has nanochips so that Bill Gates and George Soros can track you. Because that's blatant disinformation that should be filtered out by a good search engine.
The problems of distinguishing real information from disinformation in real time is difficult, made even more difficult when the stakes are high, like an active war. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, or that because there is no perfect method that no method should be used. Disinformation should be fought not embraced.
