From Reader's Digest on misinfo and disinfo:

Even the savviest of us can be fooled. Here's how to recognize fake info.

1. Misinformation is false, misleading, or out-of-context content shared without an intent to deceive.

2. Disinformation is purposefully false or misleading content shared with an intent to deceive and cause harm.

3. Be suspicious of information that elicits strong positive or negative emotions, contains extraordinary claims, speaks to your biases, or isn't properly sourced.

4. Before sharing content, make sure the source is reliable, and check to see if multiple sources are reporting the same info.

By their rules, one should be suspicious of information that speaks to biases or makes extraordinary claims, such as:

• Falsely states
• States without evidence
• Unfounded doubts

In addition, when they say check to see if multiple sources are reporting the same info, we've got to ensure they aren't all stating word for word the same thing or introducing the same bias.
