General consensus? No, but it seems that nearly everything emanating from a conservative-leaning source is labeled as such. _Purely a coincidence_, I'm sure.
Who decides it? Well right now traditional media sources are leading the charge, and our benevolent Silicon Valley overlords are working feverishly to help out. Media and tech companies are both filled with people of a left-leaning persuasion. Again, pure coincidence I'm sure, and we all know these people are above injecting their own personal biases into protecting us from fake news, so we're in good hands.
Had the same sentiment in my post but got down voted and flagged. Called out the thousands of globalist who will use Google's power to censor content they deem unfit for the public to see. This is a systemic problem in silicon valley.
Stuff that's from conservative-leaning sources can be accepted just fine, so long as it's anti-Trump. So for example really dubious claims from Louise Mensch, a conservative who thinks Russia is involved in literally everything, are fairly widely accepted. Likewise, people were quite happy to take Glenn Beck at his word as soon as he came out against Trump. It's bizarre.

What's even funnier is to see people on r/politics say "you know I always thought Beck was an OK guy, just a little misunderstood" after he went nuts about Trump.
