Read Between the Lines
Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·        Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that other facts on the site are also accurate.

·        Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric, or overly impassioned? This may indicate that this site is biased.

·        Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·        Check the links to the source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.
