How do I fact-check the information?
Follow the trail of evidence to see who is quoted or what is referenced:
Is the original source accurately represented?
Is data presented fully or "cherry picked" to suppress contradictory evidence?
Are the sources credible and relevant?
How strong is the evidence? If there is a study or poll, is the sample size large enough to represent the population accurately?
