They tend to copy each other as sources, which skews the suggestion of believing it if a lot of them report the same thing.
Fact-checking should be mandatory, and rampant speculation should be mostly ignored. I don't know of any off-hand but it'd seem like there'd be some entity out there who is concerned with presenting news *facts* and wade through all the bullshit. They don't need to be breaking news. They wouldn't have to be 100% perfect either, as long as they print retractions when they get something wrong.
