Does it have any odd suffixes or substitutions? Check the author’s credentials. Skip anonymous news reports. Make sure the headline and/or picture matches the content. Consult and compare competing sources. Fact check stories with sites like Snopes, FactCheck, and Politifact. Dig deeper. Follow up on cited sources and quotes. Beware online ‘filter bubbles’ that show you only items that are similar to items you have liked. Be open-minded. Ask questions.”
