We have already seen in the last few years that "fake news" and "misinformation" of today has a reasonably high probability of becoming "verified news" and "factual information" of tomorrow. Of-course the "fact-checkers" and "misinformation experts" rarely correct themselves or apologize for their censorship.

This take is akin to finding a broken clock that just happens to show the correct time at the moment you found it, and then refusing to accept that the clock is broken, even hours later. Then as the days go on, you accumulate more evidence that the clock is actually working, because you keep checking on the two minutes per day that the broken clock is "accurate", while discounting the other 1438 minutes per day when the clock is wrong.
Well, if the "fact-checkers" are the broken clock, then I would agree with you.
