Trace claims, quotes, and media back to the original context
- many things on the internet are distorted by removal of context
- find the original source
- sense-check the version you are evaluating against the source
-
Find better coverage
- look for trusted sources that repeat (or refute) the claim
- look for consensus
- do you agree with the consensus?
-
Investigate the source
- who wrote this?
- what is their expertise?
- what might be their motivation?
-
Stop
- sense-check, do you know the website or other source?
- remember your purpose, and titrate your level of effort accordingly
