That misinformation comes in different flavors. The NYT's reporting on "WMD" to legitimize the Iraq Invasion is a stain on their reputation, but I still consider them to be "as reliable as one could hope for".

That vs. Fox News, which was designed from the start as arm of the GOP and is a fount of intentional misinformation.

I think the path forward is curated collections of sources with trusted reviewers.

Edit: defenders can question my assertion of intention regarding Fox News, but its origin and goals are indisputable:
