How do we know what to trust on the web?

1. A glud of pop-ups and banner ads.

2. Checking the domain. Often, fake sites add .co to trusted brands to steal their luster.

3. Check the 'About' page. Then google the word fake and see what comes up.

4. Check the date. Social media resurrects outdates stories.

5. Read past headlines. Often they bear no resemblance to lies beneath.

6. big red flags for fake news: ALL CAPS or photoshopped pics.

7. Gut check. If a story makes you mad it is probably it is designed that way.

8. If a story offers links, follow them. No quotes, link? It is a telltale sign.

9. Verify an unlikely story by finding a reputable outlet reporting the same thing.

10. Photos may be misidentified and dated.

10.1. Use a reverse image search engine like TinEye to see where an image really comes from.
