They can't be publicly trusted experts unless they can demonstrate that they correct disinformation at a better rate than it is delivered by the MSM. I haven't seen that. Apart from mundane fact checking chores, my observation is that referenced fact checkers lie by ommision, and other means, as much as anyone else. And it really is late stage civ stuff. Journalists are supposed to be the "disinformation experts". This has always been a false narrative, but in recent years the public percieves enough deception from he Press that trust in their proclamations has fallen through the floor. Enter "disinformation experts" as a cheap last-ditch attempt at an appeal to authority fallacy by the same distrusted media. It will and is failing as well. As it should.
