My question is what are the measures by which you would count something as a rational factual claim? Peer reviewed journal citation? Repeatable results via repeatable experiment? Widely accepted truths? I ask because there are elements of censorship that we all use in order to verify and then share accurate information and one of them is counting on each other not to lie about or or misrepresent the accuracy of information being shared.

There are levels of accuracy and all honest people will agree on what that hierarchy is. The problem isn't that the truth is subjective, the problem is that journalism has been captured by those who use it to purposely spread lies.
