I can't, but I don't think its a bad idea. Given that, I guess you have to start at some point -- right? And last election social media was given all sorts of grief for the fake news... I can understand them wanting to be more careful this time. And of all news stories in recent years, this seems like a good one to begin with.

Are they? Or do they just seem like the opponents to every political group? I'm sure liberals would say these media companies are also their opponents.
