This is encouraging work! But I would be hesitant to use discernment skills as a ringing endorsement of crowdsourced fact-checking. In these systems, the public notes must have sources attached and compelling narratives. The crowd must discern, but also research and debunk.

Can people tell true from false news?
Yes! Our meta-analysis shows that people rate true news as more accurate than false news (d = 1.12) and were better at spotting false news than at recognizing true news (d = 0.32).
