"it will also give Steve's Blog the power to appear as professional as NYT in presentation." I think that's exactly why history and reputation are going to matter more in the future, not less. And I do agree there are no purley "trusted" choices, it is always a matter of degrees and our assessments are always imperfect. Though ironically (and I'll give myself away as someone who has not thought too much about these issues) I would imagine the best tool to assess accuracy and trustworthiness in the future could end up being an AI, which means we first need to assess the accuracy and trustworthiness of said AI, which... is enough for me for one day!
