Could be significant:
CBS is launching a new show as part of a larger pivot to streaming. It's called "CBS News Confirmed." Devoted to combatting misinformation. Mission is to "identify and fight the spread of false stories, conspiracy theories and bad facts." variety.com/2024/tv/news...

While ok, I worry it’ll fall victim to the same both sides approach that make the Washington post fact checker say that democratic claims that republicans wanted to remove everyone from Medicare as the lie of the year because the crappy replacement plan was also going to be called Medicare.

IMO, misinformation has to be snuffed out at its source. Time to sue/ban outlets like Fox News.

This could be a 24-hour channel that just does picture-in-picture commentary of the Fox 24-hour news channel. You would never run out of content. Oh wait no, we have that on twitch.

This is heartening especially in light of Colorado’s news coalition’s effort to reset election coverage around the issues that matter to voters. If only it resulted in other groups of news outlets around the country breaking out of the current coverage mold.

I sometimes wonder why the FCC or SPJ or some group doesn't regulate which networks qualify to be called "News." After all, MSNBC doesn't call itself News in its name. This would avoid the need for "Confirmed," right?
