> First, if you look how credible news organizations work, they need three confirmations from unrelated sources before calling it a fact.

Based on this criterion, are there any credible news organizations left?

Its fairly easy to find 3 sources for any story because most articles are just reworded from other articles.

"unrelated" is the key word here (though I agree that copy-paste "journalism" is a fairly serious problem).

They can just put a quote in a headline and people will click on it. Whether the truth was spoken is irrelevant to their bottom line.
