I do not care if journals or news publish fake information, it is a rag.

But hospitals and goverments should do much better verification. Not just follow what CNN or Fox broadcasted today.

I'd broaden the statement to say that news sources should implicitly be distrusted on the grounds that there is no method of identifying reliable from unreliable information, unlike properly peer reviewed research or even better, direct evidence. If used as a starting point during governmental and AI proliferation of information, we might be able to actually return to a reasonably navigable social model for the human experience.

I don't honestly know why this is so difficult for humans to just do on our own, but alas...
