针对网络谣言问题，欧美出现了PolitiFact、Snope、FactCheck这样的第三方事实核查职业机构。他们由信息专家、媒体从业者和各领域的专业人才组成，对热门谣言进行着专业可靠的辟谣和核实工作，弱化错误信息的病毒式传播，努力保障着社交网络上的信息质量。
但可惜，事实核查机构实际上并没有被移植到中国来。这里有的只是谣言的泛滥与放纵，营销号的刻意歪曲事实，投喂偏见。
Snope就是一家著名的第三方事实核查机构。
面对舆论环境里的信息污染，人类其实是毫无抵抗力的，他们本身就会更容易去相信与自己既有观念相符的东西，而去忽略可能会不一致的信息。甚至在长期的单向信息灌输后，让读者看到与原有认知不一样的辟谣信息，不仅不能弱化他的错误观念，反而还会强化其原有偏见，把辟谣当作造谣。
人类的认知缺陷其实很严重，我们在对自己的观念信心百倍前，都需要先反思下自己是如何接触并吸收塑造了这些观念的信息的。要知道，你接触的信息环境，其实在一开始就锚定了你的思维高度。只阅读质量可疑的中文资讯，再努力的独立思考，其实也是事倍功半。
