Wasn't the whole point of Google replacing things like Yahoo directories, curated manually, with fully automated algorithms? Being able to find quality information on "Bill Clinton" algorithmically and not settle for the page "Bill Clinton Sucks" as their early paper discussed? And aren't we in the age of AI, everything is solved even more now with NNs than it was with PageRank?

Why then prop up human-chosen sources like snopes and politifact? Is the AI too dumb or does it hold the wrong political opinions?
