Question what you read [from every source].
Let's begin with this...
Ask the Q
Who is quoted and what do they say?
Can you find the full statement of the person in context. Reporters often lie by ommission.
Is the information available on other INDEPENDENT sites?
It is easy to find sites that parrott the same narrative, but can you find a site that reports on the same events from a different, independent point of view. Even a foreign news source can be good to give you perspective.
Can you perform reverse searches for sources and images?
Blatant photoshopping of an image is a form of lying. But even more subtle changes like cropping out the context of a photo are misleading. And some images are completely unrelated file photos that are just there to add color, and to mislead. Most reports on the death of Kim Jong Un did this.
Is the story too good to be true?
This can be the first sign that the article was written specifically to trigger confirmation bias. This is a psychological effect where people are willing to believe a lie just because it confirms another lie that they want to believe is true. Instead of allowing confirmation bias, you should do your own digging and investigation.
