      My point was not that X would be able to do something about this, but that it is not a source of breaking news, and fundamentally not a replacement for journalism…and should not be used as such.

        Ya, it’s definitely shouldn’t be a source. I think it would be great if all sites had something like this though. Retractions on reputable news sites also go by unnoticed.

        Imagine going to the BBC website and it showing you that with 2-3 articles on rare occasion.
