Also, most "fake news" provides links to their source of information. This may not always be the case but most alternative news websites will have links so you can look into it yourself.

As an example, I was reading "fake news" about how fluoride has been classified as toxic by the Lancet medical journal. They provided the link to the journal and sure enough, the medical paper was there and it did say what the "fake news" said it did. Then I looked at other "mainstream news" sites and they just state that fluoride was deemed safe by some other research without providing the links to the research.

Hmmmm, I wonder who people should be believing; the people that provide all the info for you to do your own research on the subject, or the people who just tell you how it is without anything to back it up.
