I love the idea of nutrition facts. AllSides has sort of started doing this. They measure left/right lean for articles and news sources. Newsweek has now included a left/right lean indicator in all of their articles from AllSides.

While the lean of an article is not a measure of factual errors. It at least is a move in the right direction. Maybe one day they will include a nutrition facts.

The other problem I see is who does the fact checking? That cannot be cheap.
