Re: How to Spot Fake News
And the clincher .......... Are Fox News running with it? If so Its probably fake news
Re: How to Spot Fake News
most important - use your brain
Re: How to Spot Fake News
or better yet, be well read on news from a variety of sources. Know enough to ask yourself, "what is missing from this story" and "what questions aren't answered here.." It seems these days all media sources have their biases so usually a story is fairly obvious in the narrative that is being painted...

And do not ever forget the Leftist Litmus Test.
If anyone or any news source has ever been sued, is ever wrong once about anything, they are wrong about everything and they are never to be believed about anything (unless it is a source from the Left). Used across the board, that view pretty much leaves no one to be believed in this imperfect world.
Even the biased BBC, Bill Maher, lying CNN and that nut at InfoWars gets something correct and truthful now and then. Research the information contained in a link. Most importantly follow the advice of samuel: "use your brain."

Should it have included Declan's astute, and unbiased, contribution?

It is an excellent guide with the exception of asking a librarian. That could be the same as looking to CNN or Fox for unbiased reporting.jackspratt wrote: ↑August 20, 2021, 2:36 pmGiven that there is so much of it about, including on this esteemed forum, I thought this might be relevant.
