Seeing it Online Doesn't Mean It's True!

I'm seeing more and more people sharing bogus news on Facebook thinking it's real. First of all, if the "news" comes from "Regularjoe.wordpress.com" (or any other blog), and it's not shown on any other news site, scratch it off as being fake.
Some people who own blogs will write anything to generate traffic, regardless if it's true or not, in an attempt to make a buck.

"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." -James Madison

When you see news online, braden your search to see if it holds any ground!
