I think you could devise something where things met certain journalistic standards. Confirmation of information from multiple independent sources, properly sited information.
A process wouldn't determine what was the truth just that the proposed truth met reasonable profressional journalistic requirements. Essentially the same way the FDA regulates medical claims.
