I just read a post about fact checking. Need some advice.

Is there a fact checking site that resolves questions quickly?
Is it necessary to be a member?
Which ones are the most reliable?

I’ve found that when I go to sites, I’m either unable to ask the question, or, there is no answer. How am I to be accurate if I pose the question?

1. well, for starters....

I believe those post in question today is pretty easy to examine

it was a random twitter account (not a verified/blue check) and searching for keywords found NO other locations w/that news

just have to use your google skills or search the social media sites and start looking at who's posting what.

2. Thanks. That's what I've been doing for the most part.

I was trying to find a fast, quick way to save time.

3. Snopes is a good start.

4. Sometimes just a quick search, Google or DuckDuckGo or whatever

will give clues -- many times I've been about to post and did a quick search only to find links showing the info was not true. It's worth it. I feel really foolish when I realize I posted something that was not true.

5. Unfortunately it happens occasionally.
