I meant organizations like that but with more teeth . I just use Snopes as an example . I wish the media was run the way the scientific community is , where every article is structured like a paper not written in such a dull way , with the facts , links to primary and secondary sources that anybody can go to and independently verify for themselves . Maybe not citations of other articles unless necessary in the scientific community citations are a means to gain clout but in the media I can see how that would be abused . And of course articles that can ' t pass muster or peer review don ' t get published . The only problem , of course , is that even that system can be corrupted as we ' ve seen happen with the climate change issue , but at least the science community ' s system is strong enough to withstand that kind of bullshit , so perhaps something like that can stop another Trump or anticlimatechange disinformation campaign from happening .
