They have actually highlighted the primary problem in the modern information landscape, and I dearly hope it comes back to destroy them.

Who decides what "Reliable Sources" are? We are waking up rapidly to the reality that when we give authority to a corporation like Google (or USG, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, Snopes, HuffPost, etc, etc, etc...) to decide what is "reliable", that is the implementation of censorship. These organizations are telling us who to trust.

Guess what, Google. I have a small group of people in the world I trust, and none of them are on your "reliable sources" list. These people don't lie to me, they never have. Your "reliable sources", on the other hand, have lied to me again and again and again and again. These lies are documented. It's not interpretation. There are retractions demonstrating their outright lies. Still you continue to call these the "reliable sources".

More and more people are recognizing this.

If you see an organization promoting a "reliable source", realize you are being invited to censorship and run the other way, fast!
