I'm going to be setting up a fact checker / database of journalists and news orgs.

We will randomly sample 100 articles and give a score of X/100

Any violation of journalistic ethics will result in a strike.
Thus scores will look like

73/100 articles are credible and ethical

We will likely do a new random sampling every 6 months and re review the site and/or journalist

Article not labeled opinion? Strike
Fake news? Strike
Misrepresenting data? Strike

We will publish ALL analyses in a spread sheet of every article, the articles will be archived.

There will be an explanation for our reason for striking an article.

we will rank journalists and news orgs by credibility score

We will provide bios and breakdowns of the individual and outlets history or career.

"Person X started at New York Times, etc etc."

"Person Y started at an activist organization"
