When asked if Objection could make it harder for media to publish important stories holding power to account, he said “If it raises the standards of transparency and trust, that’s a good thing.”

There is so much wrong with this whole thing that I don't even know where to start. Using AI models that are known for making things up, getting things wrong, and hallucinating to fact-check journalists is obviously insane. The fact it costs $2,000 to file an objection means only people who have 2 grand laying around will ever have the opportunity to do so. This means the rich and corporations will be the only ones taking advantage of this “system” to sow doubt in pieces that are unfavorable to them. And for what it's worth, I don't think the standards of transparency and trust were broken before racists like Trump started getting involved in politics and making things up and calling actual journalism fake news. So maybe we just make it easier for people to go after those like Trump who make false claims and don't do anything to back them up not the journalists and whistleblowers who help keep power accountable.
