This problem was created by social media by choosing which articles to show in your news feed based on engagement. That is, how much you'll emotionally react to it.

The solution is not to add another layer of "fact checking". That's super dubious.

Get rid of what got us here.

News feeds organized by engagement are evil. Dismantling them would solve both the production and consumption of emotion driven information.
