They aren't by default, I agree. I don't think we'll ever have a world of fact-checkers and I'm glad we never will. But I think it's likely that we'll see groups of passionate writers who strive for accuracy in their writing, not because it's an organization but because it's their individual style. Just like the world of tech blogging has led to these ecospheres, where there's the TechCrunch/Mashable crowd and then the Gruber/Kottke/Mann crowd, and each one has a different approach that different sorts of people like.
