- If you can’t trust the source supplying the news to you, the best strategy is usually to do a quick news search, and see who else is reporting it.
- Sometimes (lots of times!) you’ll find that there is better coverage of the claim out there than the story that reached you. Share that instead.
- Sometimes you’ll find that no one else is covering it, which is often a warning sign, particularly if it’s a big news event.
- Occasionally, searching for a better story will turn up a fact-check on the claim, particularly if the claim is dubious and widespread.
