Or like changing culture to give more weight to education, integrity etc. We need systems to automatically identify fake news and educate believers. News consumers have to do it. News consumers need a system where they can go to check news items to see if they are credible. Without the cooperation of news conduits - to label news items with the source - that will be difficult. However, that doesn't mean the crowd can't check credibility. So, culture change is needed. No-one wants to be outed as a fake news source. Here's a project. Build an automatic news aggregation site which collects all news in two pages per news item. Page 1 for the item and page 2 for the crowd credibility assessment and naming of the apparent source. Should work somewhat like Wikipedia. Except editors for page 2 would need a threshold score for being correct. Everyone can criticise but you lose points for being on the wrong side of history. That'll be 2 cents Mike > > -- > Grant >
