Many years ago, I used to believe in it. I thought you should have someone trying to be objective.
Now, unless you're actually paying someone to be objective, you've basically got no chance. Better to drown in misinformation and parse out the bullshit than to believe anyone pretending they have the right to declare something true.
Its ex post facto censorship. If they cant keep the story frim getting out they neuter it by adding spin and gaslighting.
'ex post facto censorship' is a fantastic turn of phrase.
Kudos.

Fact checking online only became a thing when the truth started coming out.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
