I remember a few years ago some body saying a way to check for fake news is does it get you excited? Fudging the facts or outright lying to either get you riled up or tell you exactly what you want to hear is a way to go viral and get clicks or clout.
So the second way is if this isn't from a solid source, is anyone else reporting this? (Still could be fake because they could all be relying on the same original source.)
