<p>👋 🤔 In today&#x27;s world there&#x27;s a war on truth and now with AI it&#x27;s often more difficult to differentiate a real news story from one that is fake. <br>🧵 1/2 <br>When I read a headline from a &#x27;new to me&#x27;, unfamiliar source, I try to remember to check it&#x27;s credibility before I trust and share the article.<br>Here are steps I take to fact check a source and perhaps you might find this helpful:</p><p>1: Is this story reported elsewhere? (run a search)<br>2: If it is, and the additional sources are credible : more than likely it&#x27;s true so, share✅ , if not then I proceed as follows:</p><p>If the story is Not reported elsewhere, I *combine* the following steps:<br> a) ask trustworthy friends if they&#x27;ve heard of the source<br> b) run a media bias check<br> c) check that source&#x27;s previously published articles for credibility (see step <a href="/tags/1/" rel="tag">#1</a>) <br> d) Analyze the text/writing style and structure of the article--often AI generated print/writing appears &quot;off&quot;, &#x27;sterile&#x27;. <br>And a new step I just now discovered, thanks to @oliver_schafeld , is check the source to view information about the website using this link :</p><p>e) <a href="https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>lookup.icann.org/en/lookup</a> </p><p>f) trust my &quot;gut feeling&quot; (often our subconscious picks up clues something is amiss. )</p><p>🧵 continued 👇</p><p><a href="/tags/media/" rel="tag">#media</a> <a href="/tags/factcheck/" rel="tag">#FactCheck</a> <a href="/tags/fakenews/" rel="tag">#FakeNews</a></p>
