Answer: ( Identifying Factual or Fake information )
When it comes evaluating certain information from a source, whether it's from the News, social media, or any of that sort, determining it as factual or fake can be difficult. When it comes to identifying it as a fact, doing proper research on the topic can always help finding the Facts to it; though when it comes to identifying it as a Fake material, that can also help save time to researching more about it. Most of the time, when presenting fake news about something, it can be easier to spread questions and rumors about the topic at hand. People will start to agree or disagree with certain opinions on the matter. Also by presenting false information, someone might present a bit of the truth but keep forming lies and twisting the subject to a certain degree make it seem believable.
When it comes to critically thinking about certain details from News sources, you're able to realize and identify that it could be false. False information can also damage the culture of learning by sparking rumors and mistrust upon something; which is why it's important to have factual evidence and details to ensure trust upon the subject. Usually when half-Truths/Lies are spread around, things start to become misleading and don't add up to the extent.
If television News, for example, was spreading information about something, many people might not believe half or even most of what's told to them based on rumors or what they're saying directly; and the other half of people will find it to be believable whether it's trending or not. The same goes for Social media like website platforms and different profile figures, though when it comes that, information can spread much more quickly and abruptly due to many Internet sources leading to any kind of truth or Lies that could take place. When identifying information that's True or false, it makes it easier to determine what's what for many subject matters.
