For the terrorism example you could have a nifty bot that keeps track of worldwide terror stats and local terror stats and report something like: odds of dying in terror attack rise from .00005% to .00006% (obv made up number) after {city} attacks. Would have to figure out how to do this while still respecting those who were affected though.

Or for clickbait science headlines immediately report the statistical significance of the cited paper/credibility of journal based on the number of citations that journal recieves from other scientists.

Some types of articles would be tougher than others for sure but that doesn't mean we couldn't grab at the low hanging fruit.
