I wonder how labelling would work with news like saddam hussain's weapons of mass destruction - reported by cia, backed by the goverment as truth, but turns out it was all fake.

Labels will probably have to change retrospectively. Maybe they should also include "according to ..." reference? I can imagine that some statements will be flagged as truth by one side and as fake by the other.

If you play this game further with creating graph of dependencies and recorded switches from truth to fake you can even get "accuracy score" for source reference - I wonder how CIA as source ref would score in this game - hopefully not somewhere in the area of "compulsive liar"?
