The group is also responsible for a number of guidelines and code of principles accepted by a wide range of media companies worldwide.

Google’s partnership with the IFCN has three main aims: increasing the number of fact-checkers reviewing information, expanding the IFCN’s current code of principles in new regions, and offering free fact-checking tools to Google users to verify the information that they find on Google’s search engine.

There’s got to be SOME law on the books to prevent the prevention of news.

If that makes sense :)

The economic law of supply and demand.

All that has to happen is for the President to tweet:

"If you want the REAL news, go to One America News...OANN.com."

Ya see, I was 12 when Reagan got elected and got the wrong impression of what the long term path we were on was.

He was just a GREAT 8 years of temporary relief.
