An analyst team has created a NewsGuard plugin - an extension for a web browser that helps navigate news resources. Based on 9 criteria, the rating system determines how the plug-in icon marks the source: reliable - green, publishing invalid data - red. The implication is that NewsGuard is designed to combat fake news and is not funded by the state, but its advisory board includes former officials, including the ex-director of the CIA and the NSA. RT NewsGuard assigned a red badge to the channel, and other media that were repeatedly found to be placing false information - green. With details - correspondent RT Ilya Petrenko.
