Actually...

Don’t Trust The Daily Mail

@TheDimPause Don't trust NewsGuard, progressive alternate news sites warn.

@JohnPhilpin It's nice to have one's instincts confirmed though :)

@ReaderJohn Got to admit that this is the first time I've even heard of them so I'd have to do a lot more research before I did!

@TheDimPause How a NeoCon-Backed “Fact Checker” Plans to Wage War on Independent Media is the take of one independent medium on NewsGuard. And now NewsGuard’s baked into a browser?! Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

@ReaderJohn Quite! Thanks for that link, an interesting article. Not surprised now that I haven't heard of NewsGuard before, it appears to be very US-centric at the moment. I am surprised that Microsoft has apparently wholeheartedly committed to - and thus approved - such a relatively new and untested venture.
