You are absolutely right -- and I'm not coming into this project with the illusion that any given source will be universally trusted (or trusted at all). I don't want to create a tool that people will look at and say "all righty then! Time to believe anything this tells me!" In fact, that would be counterproductive.
The real goal is a tool that will trigger critical thinking when it is most needed -- flag pieces of content that are worth spending an extra few seconds / minutes / etc looking into and then help them look into it. I want people to think carefully before infusing controversial information into their world view.
(btw I'm Dan in case you didn't pick up on that)
