Elon Musk wants new site that will rate journalists - calls it 'Pravda'
http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/23/technolo...index.html

"Going to create a site where the public can rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication," Musk tweeted.

He said the service could be called Pravda, which is Russian for "truth" and also happens to be the name of the newspaper central to the Soviet Union's Communist Party.

Oh boy, this will end well.

Guess he is slipping from grace as a media darling................but far too many of them distort stuff to fit their narrative. Generally - sacks of sh!t.

He's going to have to call it something other than Pravda, because the NYT and WaPo will sue for copyright infringement.

We don't need a rating system. It's generally not journalists who dick up the news, it's the "commentators". Journalists and reporters get their satisfaction from going out there and reporting. When they get to commentator or columnist they start to put their opinions in front of the facts.

We need to fund journalists better and get them out of big media. A better idea than a rating system is a way for journalists to be basically freelance and make a decent living. Maybe something like a Kickstarter or GoFundMe for journalists.
