If I can guess... most misinformation spread by stupid people are easily debunked. For more complicated stuff, I wonder if a disclaimer "This information is unverified" is appropriate. One can also use weasel words like "As reported on $NEWSPAPER..." or "$PERSON claims...", or "If I can guess...". A lot of news sites do the first two.
In general, a line on every user-submitted input to remind people "The information written by the user may be wrong, reader beware." would probably help to make a better Internet. Weasel phrase: IMO ;-)
