There are some shady sites out there that peddle totally fake news for ad impressions. I'm fine with disrupting their business model.

But what are the odds that legitimate (or even fringe, semi-legitimate) right-wing news sites bear the brunt of this movement?

In my community, I could see the opposite happening. Anti-vax marked as true, scientific articles marked as fake.
