Tom,

 

Do you know anything about NewsGuard?

 

It’s a news site evaluation service supported in part by Microsoft?  HUGE investment in personnel.  I can’t grasp what the business model is, but I heard the its leader, Brill, on Axelrod’s Podcast, and he was impressive. 

 

Am I allowed to hope?

 

 

Nick

Nick:
Can't say I know anything specific about it.  Brill, however, is a bright and serious guy. My fear is that the bad guys are always able to run ahead of the white hats.
