There are so many sources of information nowadays. Do you believe everything spreading online Why or Why not
Sometimes I do, but it depends. If the news is reported by a news agency that is trustworthy, then I will usually believe the report. However, if the news is from a source that I am not familiar with, I will often check other sources to compare the information in the reports. Moreover, if a headline seems to be too exaggerated to be true, then I will also check other news reports to confirm whether it is a true story.
