The mistake you are making is believing people are interested in the truth and the assumption that humans are rational truth seeking agents. People mostly consume news as a form of entertainment with a dopamine hit from having their prior beliefs confirmed or for gossip. It is why the "news" is so popular. I have thought quite a bit about building "real" news outlets but it is hard to not conclude it is a waste of time. Reinforcing priors and gossiping is just what humans do. In the west, we really get off on a simulation of truth seeking even when the slightest bit of analysis can show the simulation is ridiculous. The Titan submersible news event is really a great lens to grasp this in retrospect considering anyone with domain knowledge knew right away the truth that the Titan had imploded.
