Breitbart in the “trusted news” section? Wow...

Who defines what is "misinformation"? This is always my problem, these actors cannot be trusted to determine what is true and what isn't. It's putting history and current events in the hands of already extremely untrustworthy companies that are constantly wrong and have extremely heavy biases.

Would something like the Washington Post's 2003 "Irrefutable" [1] article jeopardize the Washington Post's ability to post news on Facebook?

Currently the sinclair group has substantial influence over most of America’s small market news stations.

I support disrupting this model but I don’t trust facebook to do it.

The Washington Post absolutely can't be trusted to report on American affairs. Doesn't stop them from declaring themselves an arbiter of truth with their Pinocchio meter.

Honestly I don't feel I can trust an entire journalistic outlet as trustworthy after what happened during the Iraq war. I'll just individual journos but not papers.

It's an opinion article, it's in the URL.
