Facebook Has Begun to Rank News Organizations by Trust, Zuckerberg Says

I wouldn't label any major news outlets as trustworthy. They all have sensationalist, often outright lying headlines. They all clip parts of conversations and stories to make something sound much worse or better than it actually is. It's not honest in any regards.

How will Facebook, a brand built on dishonesty choose honest sources correctly?

Further, why should a person who build a brand based on dishonesty be trusted to implement a trustworthy way to rank news sources?

I found it kind of funny to see the link lead to Buzzfeed. When it comes to trustworthiness in news I'd rank them slightly above Info Wars.
