Ah yes, "truth" synonymous with "fake news".

Probably some sort of trust ranking system for the news sources. Ie. Is the source CNN or the Onion?

That's what I'd say, journalism reviews.

I usually go to Mediafactcheckbias if I want to see how credible a source is. Or just how partisan they are since I'd rather not read something along the lines of: "Those woke liberals/right wing extremists did such and such!". I'm just there for the facts, not some journalist's opinions.
